What did Jello have to do with ANY of this? Was > he at the show (it was in San Fran, after all). As far as I know, Jello was not at that show (by the way Doyle didn't KILL the guy) but I think Jerry was referring to the fact that a lot of so-called friends for whom he used to graciously supply a place to stay and food to eat have seemingly turned on him in the last few years. > Subject: Mephisto Waltz > From: Scott R Tiemeyer > I'm sure this question was asked in the past, and I wan't here, but I > need to ask it, cuz it's bugging me. How come the lyrics to mephisto > waltz were never published?? they are not in the box, or collection II. > whats up with that? does anyone know the lyrics.?? talk to me here. Since Mephisto Waltz was never recorded by The Misfits, Jerry did not have lyrics to supply Caroline with for the box set. Mephisto Waltz was written by Glenn and recorded by Samhain, but included on Misfits releases because it was originally meant to be a Misfits tune. The lyrics (as figured out by me) are included on the page. > From: Gabriel Palczewski > Subject: Re: misfits bible post > > > not that i should even bother......... > > when the suit was initiated all members of the band were invited to join. > > Most did.This was a legal battle that spanned years and involved huge legal > > fees, hours and hours of reseach and work and great heartache.

Saw one of your intelligent posts. I'm a jew, and I thought you might like to talk about it. Were you the idiot who had the "14 Words" sig too? Sorry if this is the wrong, uhm, forum.

Isnt that the sickness in the family deal now, cancelling all the shows? > I really think Doyle should switch to a heavier gauge string, since he > kept breaking them, during every other song. Since he makes his own guitars out of graphite, i have a feeling the truss rod he is using (the steel rod down the middle of most necks on guitars) is not strong enough to support heaver gauge strings. For all I know, his guitars might not even have truss rods. Either that, or the heavier strings might be tougher to bend, though he seems buff enough to be able to bend anything :). Then again, I might have no idea what I'm talking about. He should use the Dick Dale string set. Fucking Thick! >As for the rest of you, I will deal with you later, I am too busy getting head right now from a blonde with huge tits. What a blond fat guy? Whats his name, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan? > and he was talking about how Doyle killed that kid with his guitar When the hell did this happen? Are you for real? Fill me in. > When punk is as trendy as its been in over a decade, when bands like The Sex Pistols and The Damned are cashing in on big returns. Who cares! Most people dont start bands and hope to be struggling artists living on food stamps the rest of their lives. Guys start bands to get chicks and make money. It beats fucking working at a desk all day, reading about it in the Misfits bible. If bands want to cash in on their name, its their fucking right. The Sex Pistols deserve every dime they get. So do the Misfits. Fuck, I probably make more in year than Jerry has from the Misfits in his life. I'd still rather pound a bass and rock and roll rather than doing what I do. Who cares what Jerrys reasons are for doing this. If you like the music and enjoy the show, thats all that matters. If you dont, dont go. I've seen the Misfits three times this summer, spending at total of $45 on tickets. Its been the best $45 i spent in a long ass time. Playing in a band is a job. You do it to feed yourself and your family. Where I work, I dont ask them to pay me as little as possible so I can keep my "artistic" purity. This whole starving artist thing everyone keeps talking about is the biggest load of shit I ever heard.

Come on you bunch of suckers. They do it all for the money. Hell if I had known earlier, that the Misfits were reforming, I would of assassinated Mikey Graves, and been the singer myself. If you are not sure if the Mishits are in it for the money, ponder this; Why didn't they start up an entirely new band? (like Kryst) Answer: because it wouldn't make any money, and didn't make any money. Who cares if they are in it for the money. If you enjoy it good, if not oh well. I'd sell all of your souls for a nickle, as if I'd get that much for a bunch of dumb shits anyways. On a lighter note, I might be playing with MDC. They will be in the Halton area next Friday, freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee show. E-mail me for details. Oh yeah, I'm the promoter for a club in Hamilton.

Oh man, I heard them on the radio....something like "You'll die by the sheeth of my sword!" and then you hear what sounds like swords clanking together....I never laughed so hard in my life. Anyway, Fiend guy, listen, why don't you pick up an Undead release (Never Say Die goes for 7 bucks) and see what kind of glam rock that is. It is people that you that are making me seriously consider unsubscribing. Superfly Snuka? Is that guy still alive? I remember when Roddy Piper beat his ass... And, there have been some tapes apparently floating around of newer shows, that I don't have, so if anyone has any shows not on my list, e-mail me! I will gladly trade or buy.

The Misfits arn't some fucking music businessmen they're a legacy. Look at what they did int heir first 6 years and all the wondering and yes a bit of mystery about them in their low time due to lack of releases and hard to find songs. They wern't just a band they started a new aspect of punk rock in general and how can Jerry and Doyle go around, especially Jerry since he seems to be head honcho here and claim a copyright on the entire Misfits legacy? Glenn never did that. Oh you can say he made all the money, which he did but he never fucking had (tm) on the fucking Misfits name, he never acted like it was his band, he forgot about the band and moved on, it was HIS band that HE brokeup and now his ex-bandmates want to go reform it without him. Why don't they fucking move on? Why does it have to be The Misfits (tm) with Jerry and Doyle on the shirts and posters? Why can't it be Kryst The Conqueor doing their new songs "Mars Attacks" and "The Haunting"? Why can't they do what every other fucking member of the Misfits did, and that was move on? Bobby has The Undead, ROBO did some other projects as did all the band members. Not all were musical or successful but hey, they let it go and if they want to carry on their days in The Misfits by covering the songs then they should. If Metallica and Guns n Roses is covering Misfits songs, I don't see why its sin for Bobby Steele an ex-member of The Misfits to go around and play some songs at his live set, songs which he has been doing for some time like "Bullet" or "Attitude"? There was 12 years where there were no Misfits in any form, Bobby kept the legacy going as best he could while still doing new things with The Undead. This shit about a majority of Bobby's songs being Misfits songs is crap. Live Slayer boasts all of 1 and his other albums I think boast 2 total. Wow some big majority there. Bobby has rights to those songs, Jerry should share them. He fought and got the right to be The Misfits (tm) legally but that doesn't mean he should and he alone do Misfits songs. Jerry didn't write the songs, Bobby didn't write the songs, Doyle didn't, Robo didn't, Googy didn't, none of them did. Glenn did and if Jerry can play Glenn's songs then so can Bobby and Googy and all the rest. Fuck that legal shit, if Jerry had balls he would still be called Kryst The Conqueor and his band would be doing Kryst songs and covering Misfits tunes and like The Undead, move on while still keeping The Misfits legacy alive. He could prove he doesn't need the Misfits name to make it, he could show everyone a big "Fuck you!" especially Glenn Danzig if whom he seems to hate, that he doesn't need Glenn's Misfits, he can be just as good with Jerry's Kryst The Conqueor. Its Glenn's Misfits and always will be in my mind. Legal or not, Glenn started it and should still hold the right to finish it. Not Bobby Steele, Not Jerry Only. Bobby knows this and moved on, its a shame Jerry Only can't. ------------------------------ From: vandal@aloha.net Date: Wed, 21 Aug 1996 09:08:47 -1000 (HST) Subject: Re: Misfits Bible #220 At 12:43 PM 8/21/96 -0400, you wrote: >From: R Hinojos >Subject: out in the west texas town of el paso > > stupid siting. in El Paso, i saw a guy wearing a Samhain shirt shopping at >Walmart. now *that's* punk. =) What's wrong with someone wearing a Samhain shirt shopping at Walmart? Yes, I understand the apparent contradiction between his purported "punk values" and his patronage of a giant chain store like Walmart. First of all, how do you know he was passing himself off as "punk"? Just because he was wearing a Samhain shirt? Samhain isn't the "punkiest" band in the first place, and I happen to know a wide variety of people from MANY DIFFERENT musical backgrounds who are fans of the Misfits and Samhain. Perhaps I am overreacting to your comment (and forgive me if I am), but I am getting tired of this whole issue of punk values. I listen to alot of punk music, and yet do not consider myself "punk". Should I kill my parents, burn down my home, throw bricks at the police; would that make me "punk"? PUNK HAS BECOME A CONFORMITY OF NON-CONFORMISTS (yes, there is such a thing). It's more "punk" to reject the whole scene than it is to embrace its dated cliches. I realize that punk is about thinking for yourself and being your own person, but let's face it, people have been doing that for thousands of years (and had more success at it than most punks I know); personal freedom is not something exclusive to punk rock. I think the Sex Pistols' million dollar "Filthy Lucre" tour this summer is the perfect eulogy for the entire "punk" scene. IT IS OVER. Like I said, I may be overreacting to your simple comment. If so, I old ya a cold one. Forgive me, my sense of humour circuits are currently frazzled. Sorry for the speech, folks, I'm breaking down my soapbox for firewood.

So Ill get a couple of things off of my chest and then I wont bother anymore untill someone posts something with a bit of intelligence. Ok. First of all I want to talk about Rollins. Personally, I like his music, especialy the older stuff, and his spoken word shit is cool too. A lot of people say he is too serious and is no fun but I say if you had lived through some of the shit he has been through you would be a bit angry too. I dont care if people think he sold out. As far as Im concerned he didn't. So he can eat now big fuckin deal. ANd if it makes me unpunk or whaterver and people think Im a loser for liking him then that suits me just fine. As far as Im concerned I dont want to be liked by the likes of you. Fuck you. I hope it bothers you. Now about this whole punker that fuck thing. Hey, guess what, I like Greenday. Ha. Fuck you. I also like DK and the Ramones and Sloppy seconds and the Beatles and lots of shit and if that doesn't make me a punk then Im proud to say Im not a punk. I dont want to be like you cocks anyways. Fuck you. Hmmm. Let's talk about Bobby Steele. Personaly I have not me the guy but I have had Email converstations with him. He seems cool and raised a lot of good points. I hope he gets his money. He deserves it, however I dont think Its Jerrys fault that he didnt get paid. The real target of his and OUR agression should be CAROLINE RECORDS. I say we bombard those fuckers with EMAIL and tell them to pay everyone and not just Glenn. THINK about this for a sec OK. I met jerry at the three shows I attended and he seemed like a really nice guy. You can read previous posts about the show I say and My experience of checking out the rehearsals and shit and how cool he was about it but think about this. I spoke (on Email) of it with Bobby. Jerry says he doesn't like Rollins anymore because when Robo went to Rollins trying to get help to get some money from Ginn. Rollins told him to get a lawyer. Replace the words Robo with Bobby and Rollins with Jerry and you have the same thing. HOWEVER, I dont think it is Jerry's responsibility to pay Bobby, but I think they should all get together and GET WHAT THEY DESERVE from CAROLINE or whatever. Dont get me wrong though, I dont know the personal history between Jerry and Bobby and they seem to hate each other. I wouldn't go out of my way for someone I hate either so who knows. ANd as for the Misfits being in it for the cash. I doubt it. They probably make more money making knives. I know jerry was having a blast at the shows I saw. And Michale rules. Im glad he posted. I only talked to him for a few seconds outside the Sub Zero in Danbury but he let me take a pic with him and was cool. I dont think many people recognized him. I watched him rehearse Theme for a Jackal in Boston and he was amazing. Really cool voice and he changed the style a bit and it still kicked ass. He has me and all my friends suppourt. So what if he gets pissed off at people on occasion. He's younger that most of us for fucks sake. If you dont like him dont go. We dont want assholes at the shows that are not going to have a good time anyway. Personaly I think his voice is cooler that Glenns was at the time. Ive heard the way glenn used to sing on the live boots and Michale is better. Just wait a couple of years and you will all be eating your words. Well, I gotta go. I got suspended from university until may so once I get my place in mid October Ill set up my home email adress then and post from there. Later Roger Holmes P.S Feel free to send some grease in my direction you dumb mother fuckers. I like to take abuse from people like you. I hope you all drown in you own little punk subculture and die. But only till Aug 28. Thats when my account here at UNB is closed. But Ill be back. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Aug 1996 14:09:35 +0000 From: Eddie Subject: Re: stupid stupid STUPID people R Hinojos wrote: > stupid siting. in El Paso, i saw a guy wearing a Samhain shirt >shopping at >Walmart. now *that's* punk. =) Oh so now punks can't shop at wal mart?

So who cares about jerry or the misfits. The Undead is a great band and you really show how good you are in it. It bothers how so many people are your best friend now cuz before you were here there was no support for you, I and Mark and a few others were the only ones who supported you here.

[Yes, my last comment was VERY sexist, don't be offended, but you get my point] Okay, at Six Flags today, I kept seeing this one guy in a "Misfits" shirt walking around with a guy in a "311" shirt. I've now tied in my 311 question to the Misfits. I heard 3-11 stands for KKK. This doesn't make sense to me because when I was in New York, my cousin was watching MTV and 311 was doing a concert, and the group had a drummer, a bassist, a giutarist, and, not one, but two, two, mind you, white RAPPERS! KKK Wiggers? Adam Seven, great, maybe it's your turn now to be the whipping boy for all these angry fiends. Ian & Cara, before you break out your nigger attitudes (I say that because I can practically see your necks shaking with your comment), tell me how I'm a fucking hypocrite? Sorry, Mark, I do have a temper. EPiper8994, what is with all this nazi bullshit?- hey, your exact term, too. The word on the tip of everyone's tounge seems to be "ignorant." Listen, I made one fucking offensive joke, a Jewish person flamed me, I flamed him, everyone flamed me, I flamed everyone, that went on for a while, what was said got nastier and nastier, someone called me a "nazi" and ever since that's been my fuckin' name here.

Static Age as a >>separate entity has never been released. Actually, there is a bootleg @ Jerry's Records in Denver that came out around '86 or '87. It is on orange and black swirled vinyl and is Swiss in origin, I believe. I had never heard of it, and it is not in the discography. It was #'d 64/100. They wanted $80 for it, I politely told Jerry to fuck off. >>>wouldn't i look cool with my paws encased in the skull-and-crossbones >>>gloves glen wore circa halloween/WAU?...where i can get a reasonable >>>facsimilie of those kickass finger warmers, let me know.

Fuck you, little Green Day Offspring poseur fascist maggoty cunt homophobic prick. >>> BOBBY STEELE IS A HOMOSEXUAL. Shows you how immature Glenn and Jerry really were back in '81/'82. I just think it's EXTREMELY funny that while they are screaming "Bobby Steele's an asshole, etc." on that Xmas '81 LP, that Doyle misses EVERY fuckin' note of the solo! I laughed my ass off for days the first time I heard this. Not because of what they said about Bobby, I always loved Bobby to death, but because they ruined the fuckin' song, and half of that set, all the while talking about how "...and the Undead suck!..." Gee, talk about an oxymoron! This is why I will take Live! '79-The Perfect Crime anyday over Evilive or any live stuff with Doyle from that era. I do have a question, has Doyle improved his live playing? The recorded stuff (most of which was Glenn anyway) was okay, but live there was a void when Bobby left. I believe Bobby said it best himself in Bible #220: >>>It's called petty jealousy, and juvenile stupidity. Okay to wrap this up, (finally, eh?) does anyone know where I can get the cassette bootleg Dead Milkmen "live in New Orleans 1994"? They played an awesome version of Astro Zombies as their encore, and I would like to get the damn thing. ---- Misfit's Punk Planet BBS (501) 772-1832 E-mail misfit@slinknet.com Web Site http://www.slinknet.com/~misfit/index.htm TDPNet 58:58/0.0 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 19:39:51 -0500 From: fennellw@bc.edu Subject: american nightmare >Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1996 14:43:29 -0400 >From: The American Nightmare Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #219 hey there's only one american nightmare, me! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 11:34:23 -0400 From: Spockknock@aol.com Subject: Re: records for sale 7 INCH LIST CONTINUED.....

Nancy didnt follow for a couple of months, the first part he was in the hospital with hepatitis. I called him. he ws very nice. Roberta Bayley called him, and talked for HOURS. she would bring him comic books and stuff. He was really just a nice innocent kid who was caught up in his whole public image. Really, just like before Nancy/heroin came along, he was a regular guy, but he finally got laid right for the first time in his life and thought it was true love(meaning, got hugs and kisses in addition to getting his dick wet). Poor schmuck. After he got out of the hospital, he did a bunch of gigs at Maxs with different "scene" people at the time. He hung out. Jerry was a gadfly, he ingratiated himself with Sid (not hard to do). I dont know why Sid would have told Jerry he wanted the Misfits to be his backup band, he had the best musicians in NY playing for him at the time (Cheetah Chrome, Jerry Nolan etc etc etc.) Real musicians. More importantly people with a lot more influence than Jerry. I cant imagin what Sid and Jerry had to talk about either, Sid was a jerk when he was stoned and almost catatonic when he was straight. Nancy was around by then too, so I cant imagine under what circumstances Jerry could have had these intense discussions with Sid. Before Nancy was killed and after Sid got to playing at Max's he was pretty much a mess. All I know is, when Sid first came to NY nobody wanted anything to do with him, after Nancy got back from England, and lined up those gigs for him, he started being a somebody again.She did try to help him get a career. Her instincts were good, (having him do cover songs like "Come on everybody " and "something else" with a really professional well known allstar type back up band)a nd his werent bad either, but their relationship with each other and their addiction got all their attention. I think Sid just promised that to Jerry because it seemed like the thing to say at the time. Bobby on the other hand, had been around longer than Jerry and was in fact VERY friendly with Sid and actually was the person Sid invited to his "get out of jail free" party. Jerry and Glenn ended up going and not telling Bobby they were going, and Jerry pretty much just bird-dogged his way in there...they raced out to Rikers with Joe Stevens (he was a british photographer who was going out with a friend of ours) and picked him and Ann (sids mom) up, and took him over to Michele's (sids new gal--a friend of Bobbys!)without collecting Bobby. Kind of rude, but they ended up doing Bobby a favor by not making him an accessory to an unattended death (that is a crime,btw) after Jerry was very solicitous to Mother Vicious, and drove her around and did whatever for her. She was this helpless hippie lady. When they went to England Jerry looked her up and hung out with her (yeech) . If you want, you should check with Bobby on this story. Its a good one. (the Sid back up band thing). I dont care much for Bobbys guitar style, but he's turned out to be a very bright man with a great memory for detail and names. He's a good storyteller too and lots of fun to hang out with. He has a right to be all pissed off about this. He's hung in doing music for the past 15 yrs. not to take anything awaY from Jerry, I love the guy, he never did me any wrong, but he reaLly needs to keep his stories straight. later, p ------------------------------ From: JHH5109@acs.tamu.edu Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 11:09:23 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Return of the DJ Hoi, A couple of things... PATRICK WHITTLE - Here's some Sloppy Seconds info, I've seen them several times, and used to correspond a little bit with Bo'Ba. The Sloppies are from Indy, and first a couple of seven inches on a small label called Toxic Shock. Then, they released DESTROYED on Toxic Shock. The lineup was as follows....B.A. - Vocals, Dr. Roadkill - Guitars, Shazam Bo Ba Jam - Bass, and Steve Sloppy - Drums. The really large guy on the cover is Dr. Roadkill. B.A. and Bo'Ba are also kinda big guys, too. After some touring, the Sloppies released THE FIRST SEVEN INCHES...AND THEN SOME. It was a collection on early seven inches and different versions of songs on DESTROYED. More touring. Then, the band released KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFF. Oh yeah, THE FIRST SEVEN INCHES... and KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFF were released by TAANG! records. TAANG! also released the Sloppy Seconds LONELY CHRISTAS EP and released a couple of seven inches. Then, the Sloppies were going to go tour Europe. Dr. Roadkill wanted to take his wife, but the rest of the band said it was a business trip, not a vacation. Heated words were exchanged, and Dr. Roadkill was out of the band (I don't know all the politics of it and don't care). Enter Ace HardWhere?, the new guitarist. The DESTROYED album was rereleased on Metal Blade, and the Sloppies released LIVE! NO TIME FOR TUNING by themselves. It has since then been rereleased by XXX (TRiple X) Records. Goddamn! I'm long winded! SORRY BIBLERS AND FIENDS! Oh yeah, as far as the Where Eagles Dare cover, ask Bobby. People - Let's all play nice. From what contact I've had, Bobby Steele is a really nice guy. Remember, although our heroes are music artists, they are still human beings. When you talk shit to what these people live for, you are really screwing with those people. Joey Z. of Life of Agony said that the band recorded Hatebreeders for the tribute album. Joey is really nice! Go talk to him before the show.

This has probably been brought up before, but I honestly can't remember having read it. But Dill Records did a compilation called the Misfits of Ska using the Misfits' logo. He was contacted by good ol' Glenn's lawyer and was told that he couldn't use the Misfits' logo any more. What I don't understand is where Glenn gets the right to tell people what they can/cannot do with a logo he ripped off from Famous Monsters of Filmland.

WTF, enjoy the music and settle down. -ratboy p.s. bobby, you seem like a cool fucking guy to me. i wouldn't worry about a bunch of newcomers flaming you cause they think that it is cool to act on a CHILDISH flame danzig made fuckin ages ago. to everyone else: bobby is a good guitar player. that is ALL that should matter to 95% of ou, anyway. sheesh. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 17:26:36 PST Subject: One last time From: Scott R Tiemeyer Dear Fiends I KNOW HOW TO SPELL FIEND, I SPELLED MY HANDLE THIS WAY BECAUSE, SOMEONE ELSE ON JUNO IS USING FIEND, SO I JUST SWICHED THE LETTERS AROUND!

If you're out there I'd just like to say fuck anyone who criticizes. You are an incredible singer. I have a live show with the Haunting on it and I must say your voice is great. This song will stand up to any of the old Misfits songs. Not to mention you sound incredible on all the other shit too. I can't wait for the new stuff to come out so that every "critic" out there can eat their fucking words. Keep your head up and keep doing a great job. Secondly to Bobby Steele: I know we had words in the past but I just gotta say I must have misjudged you. I heard two live shows from when you were in the Misfits and the sound, especially the guitar, was incredible. If you ever have any tips for an aspiring maniac who happens to play guitar, I'd be glad to hear them. Also, I've been reading your posts lately and I been saying to myself, this guy ain't so bad after all. I still love the Misfits but what happened between you guys is exactly that...between you guys. Enough said. So I humbly offer my apology for any shit I said in the past. I definitely plan on checking out some of the other shit you have done since the Misfits. First stop...the Undead. ...Marino BTW I'll see all you fiends in the pit at Action Park...count on it. ------------------------------ From: MR HAROLD W JAFFE Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 20:22:49, -0500 Subject: bobby... bobby steele, i have one thing to ask you. Even after you leave the misfits why do you think you still should be performing their songs? when dead kennedys broke up did jello perform their songs in lard? when minor threat broke up did ian keep playing minor threat songs while in fugazi? how about rollins, when he made rollins band were they playing black flag songs? Why can't you get it through your head, that you were in the misfits for all of 2 years, yet you still think that you are in them? qhy can't you just play your own songs? why don't you just call undead misfits 2?

Anyways I just got back from the show in portland so I thought I'd tell you how it went. I missed CC and LOA and caught the last three songs of Anthrax ( one of the only metal bands that I like). They ended with bring the noise which I guess they've been ending with most of the tour. Lots o'rockers there. It was wierd there a balcony at the club and that was hair city but the downstairs was short hair punks and such. The misfits came on with Halloween. Micheal was wearing the skull facepaint and a black and white striped shirt....He looked like something out of Clockwork Orange..good look. They blasted through a bunch of songs and played two or threee newe ones. It was great at the end of the show they kept having people come up and sing (both members of other bands and audience members) They were just havinga party/jam session up there and we were all invited. I think Michale (I forgot how he spelt his name :( ) is a great singer. Anyway after the show came the intersting part. Most of the audience had either gone home or were hanging out by the busses. about 20 people (myself included) were standing in front of the club. Three cop cars came and told everyone to leave or they would get hosed...something about street cleaning. A huge street cleaning truck showed up with the hose poiter at head level and just blasted us with water. I turned to walk away and the guy in the truck aimed it at me and hit me again. I was completly drenched from head to foot along witha bunch of other people who didnt run from it. There was no violence no sign that trouble wasaa brewing just cops being assholes. Very strange. I have been to many many shows in Portland and nevr seen anything like this happen before. Also I saw john bush after the show signning autographs and he helped outa homeless person with a couple bucks which I though was a pretty nice thing to do. All in all expcept for my premature shower it was one of the best shows I have seen. Michale if you ever decide to get rid of that black and white stripped shirt you were wearing I would love to have it :) I think Bobby Steele is cool and incredibly nice....the fact that he contributes to the bible regularly and will e-mail you back if you ask a question is pretty cool. Who the hell are we to judge anyone anyways? (p.s. Bobby if the undead/times square ever do a show in portland or seattle tell me and I will cover the city limits with fliers!) Anyways that is my first post. hope you all don't think it sucke too badly :) "Throw away holiness and wisdom And people will be a hundred times happier Throw away morality and justice And people will do the right thing Throw away industry and profit And there won't be any theives" Lao-Tzu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 20:58:00 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Burning away at the ends... kello to all my fave Fiends... It's another friday and time to write the post. first off i would like to thank Michale for posting, very nice post and especially that you stood up for Bobby. So are you still wearing your Gris Gris (pronounced Gree Gree)bag around your neck? Which is how it works for men. Next, Justin - you need to get off this topic of hate you have been sticking to lately. No one wants to hear it anymore. Plus give it up, no one made you this way, ie the bible members. You started off your first post spewing hate. Since you so desire attention i think you can get it in a better way then a bunch of pissed off fiends yelling at you all the time. Shit you pissed Mark off and that is pretty bad. So please try and post more in a fiend/Misfits topic for now on. After that, The legal thing, rights to songs that everyone is going on about. Actually from what i was told about the legal deal with Glenn and Jerry is that Jerry gets the name, can play the song but can't rerecord them with the new band, the matter of money from the past - it is doled out in percentages. Each member of the Misfits gets a certain percentage of the royalties, which i don't think this is the place to say what they are since it would turn out to be an all out war among the fiends. Also Ian and Cara the thing between Glenn and Jerry was settled out of court. I figure both parties did not want to pay all the attornies fees and such. To that fiend that things Glenn is rolling in the money, your a bit off, he doled out money to Jerry that was owed, also he is being sued by American records which is why Danzig 5, which has been finished for a while is still not out. I know most of the bible members know the new label he's gone to. Also you have to remember that Glenn probably has more rights over the lyrics and music, since he did copyright it all. Non Misfits - to any lawyers or lawyers to be who know the full process of copy righting please post or write me about it. well as usual its been real, i have to say i'm happy to see the bible going back to some form of what i love about it. later to all the fiendies, as i slowly pass out on my keyboard. have a nice weekend all.

They carried on like any other show. Some kiid from the crowd even sang all of Blacklight with them. Pretty neat. Considering I payed $15 for my ticket and took work off, I would have been pissed if they didn't play. Thanks guys. Secondly, before the show I was talking to Jerry and I noticed his hair was black, but his eyebrows were kinda blonde. Does he really have sandy blonde hair? Or just light eyebrows. I know he dyes his hair black, but I didn't know what his natural color is. If anyone has the 4 color sleeve Return of the Fly 7" boot, hold it up to the light and the black vinyl turns into maroon with black swirls. It is really fuckin cool.

You all know what Jerry & Doyle look like and I had hair down to about the middle of my back and scruff on my face... The elevator stops and this older lady gets on and starts looking really really nervous...like we'll all going to gang rape her or something...

Jerry & Doyle seemed extremely cool at the convention...but I'm riding down with them in the elevator and I couldn't think of one damn thing to say to them to start a convo!

Check it out......5 bucks a TAPE (not show). As far as trading goes, I'm not much of a punk fan, so you probably don't have too much that would interest me (unless you've got Black Flag shit).

If you disagree with someone at least make your comment intelligent as Vandal did. I think we've evolved a bit more than to disagree with something and the only argument being "fuck you" or whatever. Otto, yeah N-C-F is on CD....check out the page, as it seems you haven't. The Discography will leave you numb. Actually, I had a guy try to sell me a "first press" CD for $50 because it had a different address on it....what's that about, Mark? Justin, by using the term "wiggers" you dug yourself in the hole some more....not that most people on this list haven't used the term before, most just won't admit it. I'd really just drop it. I mean, I've found that there are two types of people. Those who are offended by Archie Bunker, and those who think he's the funniest character on TV. Don't let these hyper-sensitive types get to you. Hey Harold, listen, read some arguments on the other side of the coin, and maybe actually read what Bobby had to say, this way, you can understand that Bobby fully understands he's NOT in the Misfits..... Bible boy---at the next Idiot Police show we're going to cover "The Antichrist" by Slayer, and I'm going to burn a Bible during it. AND, I'll dedicate it all to you. Would you like a copy on video? Hey, does anyone know the lyrics to any and all of the Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig songs? Plus songs Glenn has written for people like Johnny Cash?

When the Misfits were in Berlin this year, Jerry told me and a friend, when we asked him about politics connected with music, he sad the DK's were always far too political for him and told us also this (I don't know when or if this happend): if they (the Misfits obviously) had trouble with the audience and it would've been band vs audience, Jello would've always been on the side of the majority. He put it like this: "If you have 200 people and 99 wanted the fucking wall painted blue and 100 wanted the fucking wall painted yellow, Jello would be the one who wanted it yellow!".

Misfits at Mississippi Nights this Tuesday? Whoa! I'm gonna see if my dad won't be so tight-assed this time around! People, all of the stuff about how the current band isn't the real Misfits is getting old. Look, it's really pretty simple. This band is not the Misfits. The Misfits were Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only, and various guitarists/drummers. These guys are the New Misfits. I really don't appreciate the idea of these new songs being put into the same catagory as the songs we've all known and loved for years. This band is a Misfits cover band, but I don't have anything against them. In my mind, and the minds of most Misfits fans, they will be remembered seperatly, as are Samhain & Undead. This band, these Misfits, are not THE Misfits, but that doesn't mean I'm going to carry a grudge against them. They're a band using some other band's name, but, assuming I can see them this time, they're the closet thing to the Misfits I'll ever get to see (until the Undead rolls through St. Louis). Roger Holmes, you have the right idea, screw this "I-gotta-be-punker-than-you" mentality! Tammy, that's unfair to say.

He's stuck to his guns for years, and he's still down to earth enough to talk to people without a big ego trip on his part, which is more than I can say for Glenn.

I do not apologize for the events that took place at the The Capitol Ballroom in D.C. or anywhere else in regards to my supposed violent nature. Although I do not condone unnecessary violence, I was under the impression that we were playing punk rock shows. I did not realize we were romping through the magic garden. I would like to thank all the grandma's and grandpa's out there for letting me know that I should be playing nice with all the other boys and girls. When Mark started this bible, it was him and a handful of fans dedicated to the Misfits and their music. It has since degenerated into an ongoing free for all fight as to whats right and wrong. The Misfits have and always will do what they see as right for the band and it's fans. So the opinions of those who do not agree are just that--opinions---and have no bearing whatsoever to the band or it's true fans. Find something better to do with your time and somewhere else to direct your aggressions. Sounds to me like some of you must have problems at home and should find some kind of therapuetic hobbies. The fact that some of you feel the need to constantly and so vehemently vocalize publically about people and personal issues of whom you've never met and know nothing about, amazes and amuses me and the rest of the band. So many posts on this bible contain so much innacurate information it boggles the mind---on everything from our hair to our personal finances! I think we all need to remember what the Misfits are about -- and that is music. so if you like the Misfits cool--if you don't like the Misfits that's fine too. So I think everybody should come to the action park show and bungee jump naked. you'll feel alot better. love Michale Graves mark -- i'll bring the postcards to the show--it's easier----rachel mark--i'm still looking for the get away car---michale ------------------------------ From: Krusty704@aol.com Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 11:50:25 -0400 Subject: dead milkmen tipitinas hey fiendies, i'm looking for a couple items.

Hey fruitcakes, A while back I wrote to you all to check out our new demo and recently Mark made a comment about it, so I thought I'd try to get you all interested again. We, DEVILOCK, have finished a new demo with the following songs: Halloween Horror Hotel Bullet London Dungeon Some Kinda Hate We dont make any money off of this, we just charge $4 for the cost of the tape and shipping, so if you'd like to check us out, e-mail me and I'll get one out to you as soon as I hear from ya. On another note, I am looking for anyone who is interested in selling one of the crimson ghost armbands that they have gotten from any of the recent shows. I have one myself and wear it when we play out, but I would really like to get a second one to round out the outfit. I'm willing to pay more than what you would think, so if you've got one, make me an offer. Thanks, and check out the new demo, its scrumpdillyishous.

Did anyone know this?? has anyone heard of this? The box said it's about an actor in Nazi Germany. It won best foriegn film in 1981. When was Mephisto waltz written? does anybody think that there is a connection or am I just grasping at straws?

Weird... Justin: I know some people think if we ignore him, he'll stop his stuff, but probably not. All I have to say to you Justin is please try to keep your posts relevant to Misfits related topics. I don't care about your politics or ANYONE else's generally. If ya have something to say about the Misfits, horror films, Danzig, et cetera, great. Movies: I was wondering if any of you fiends have seen "Bordello of Blood" yet. Anything like "Horror Hotel"? ;P I haven't seen it yet, but as a comedian, I think Miller kicks ass. Also, I encourage y'all to see "Trainspotting." Awesome example of a quality film that CAN make it without following the formulaic Hollywood bullshit. VANDAL-X: Your post about the "punk" shit was right on--over reaction or not. I agree with your sentiments. The idea of being "Punk" (ie. not being a "conformist") is older than any punk band, just as being straight edge is way the fuck older than any Minor Threat song. (No offense, Minor Threat is prob. my favorite band). Just my opinion.

Subject: Writing songs the hard way... Hello fiends... look out cause i got a new activity to play in. This is for everyone to do, if you have a band or have never written a song in your life. I have seen that some of you come up with funny little songs from time to time that have to do with the bible and the Misfits. Well now i got a topic and a twist for you. This is the deal, When the original Misfits were on tour in England with the Damned, or it was when they were with the Clash, Glenn was arrested and tossed into jail. Well 15 years later in DC. new lead singer Michale gets arrested and tossed in jail too. Glenn when was in jail and it is said that this experience was the inspiration for the song London Dungeon. Well if Michale was inspired while he was locked up there should be a song. Now its your turn, you don't have to serve jail time, but you get a shot at writing that song. Best two songs get copies (now way in hell that you get my originals) of some of my rarest Misfits flyers, ***PLUS THIS IS TO MICHALE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP JUDGE THIS ONE LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL SEND YOU THE SONGS TO LOOK OVER AND PICK THE BEST TWO.*** Also, Mark if you would like to come and play to you are welcome to do so. How long do you have, i'll be nice 2 weeks from this Mondays issue, 10pm and it will be posted in the issue after that. So lets see what your made of, cause i know there are a lot of you in bands and a lot of you like to sing. e-mail songs to (tes777@bridge.net). Good luck to all. Next, Otto, damn i feel bad for you, wisdom teeth right, so far i've been lucky and have not had to deal with that, but all my friends spent the week sucking food through straws. Also November Coming Fire is on CD, its been for a couple of years. On to, the guitar thing and Doyle, some people seem lost on this. If i'm a bit off it could be since there are so many stories to what had happened. 1982, San Francisco, the Elite Club, lots of people were throwing beer cans or bottles (i heard the story with both) at all the bands that night. I've heard that Doyle got hit with one, and i heard that Doyle just got pissed because the beer was being thrown at the Misfits, he took his guitar and hit this kid in the head. the kid did not die, and some say that there is video footage of the show and the incident. I have not seen that footage. Mark, if you know more or different please let us know. To funny, only on the MB can you have a guy flame and offend lot of races, colors and such, turn around and be upset that the fiends are calling him a NAZI. This is to much!!! *JUSTIN NO ONE WANTED TO JUDGE YOU, YOU SET YOURSELF UP WITH WHAT YOU SAID.* PATRICIA, i loved the story and please tell us more of it!!! Chubbs, your right Glenn took a lot of ideas, though copying the type style from Famous Monster of Film land was not his worst, plus i think they took it from an old horror movie. The mag is not as old as the other mags of the time, it was from 1958 and there are other mags i have that are older. the Movie the Undead had the a similar look, and it came out earlier than the Famous Monster mag. So he could have taken it from that for all we know. i figure at least he had good taste in what he took. but with the situation you are talking about, if he copyrighted it then it is his. if the letters are different from the originals than he could get away with it. well its been real as always.

DR Danny Roadkill is probably the best guitarist to ever play in a punk band. When they opened for THE UNDEAD in '90, I saw him do a flip and land - sitting on the edge of the stage while playing the solo to JANIE IS A NAZI (a song about Justin's sister). When I was hanging out with him I heard him play some incredible shit. From what I hear; he's now got his own band. It's more of a rockn'roll band, but without ever hearing them, I can assure you it's gotta be amazing. From what I heard, the split was mutual. They're all still friends. It just doesn't look the same with Ace. He's way too skinny for that band.

I was a little out of line there. I didn't actually SEE Jerry selling autographs at the spring '93 CT. I just had a few people TELL ME that they saw him doing it. I try to avoid using hearsay, but I slipped there. I DID see him selling polaroids at the Halloween Chiller Theater. Maybe it was because it was more of a 'promotional' Grand Opening of the store thing, and Kevin didn't want him to sell anything. He doesn't need the money. >From: Patricia Ragan Hoehner >Subject: the sid and jerry connection > >. Bobby on the other hand, had been around longer than >Jerry and was in fact VERY friendly with Sid and actually was the >person Sid invited to his "get out of jail free" party. I met Sid once. He saw me play guitar in THE WHORELORDS, which was the band I played in just before THE MISFITS. I met him after the set, and smoked a joint. I never ran into him again. In fact, this was after Nancy got killed. My impression of him was that there was no way he could've killed Nancy. It took him two-minutes to lift a half empty Heinekin off the Bar. He was so skinny and weak. It's not easy shoving a knife into someones body. After I joined the MISFITS, I went to see the POLICE at some hotel ballroom in midtown. This English guy that was apparently working with one of the bands came over and asked if I was Bobby Steele. He said he'd heard I was really good on the guitar. When I asked where he heard that - he said Paul Simonon said Sid Vicious told him. >Jerry and Glenn ended up going and not telling Bobby they were going, >, and took him over to Michele's (sids new gal--a friend of Bobbys!)without >collecting Bobby. I think she knew Jerry. I met Michelle on Sid's B'day, after he was killed. She was trying to O.D., but I kept fuckin' up her shot so she wouldn't have enough. That's when we became friends. Everyone thought she killed Sid, and they called her Michelle Murder. I had friends saying "please don't kill Bobby" whenever we left the Mudd Club together. She used to slash her wrists and people would say shit like "don't do that to yourself", "why do you want to kill yourself" and she just kept doing it. I told her "hey that's cool, do it again" and she never did it again. >after Jerry was very solicitous to Mother Vicious, and drove her around >and did whatever for her. She was this helpless hippie lady. When they >went to England Jerry looked her up and hung out with her (yeech) . And left me alone in a hotel cellar with nothing to eat but this stew that looked like Dog Food. Glenn ran off and stayed with this rich guy that wanted to manage us because we looked so cool. His brother owned the hotel that I was staying in. Joey had left for New York. >If you want, you should check with Bobby on this story. Its a good >one. (the Sid back up band thing).

In reality, if they claim the Misfits Of Ska title was done in parody - Glenn won't have a case. It wasn't as if they were trying to deceive the public. He wouldn't be entitled to any monetary damages. BTW does Glenn really still own the name? According to the RESURECTION poster, Jerry does. At the bottom of the poster it says TM and copyright CYCLOPEAN MUSIC.

Hey fiends, EVERBODY SHOULD READ THIS, IT'S NOT BULLSHIT I don't post very often, but it's gone to far with out saying anything now. I (along with the few true fiends left on the MB) am getting sick of all the crap that gets posted on the MB now. This is suppose to be a place where fans of misfits, samhain, and danzig related topics can exchange some thoughts on the greatest band(s) to ever exist. There are certain topics which people need to try to avoid particularly: 1) flaming people (like bobby steele) that have had something to do with the misfits in the past. bobby, along with glenn and several others, contributed to the misfits in his own way. if even one of the misfits members (at any time) had not been a member, then the misfits might not be who/what they were then or now. flaming band members accomplishes nothing except perhaps to provoke other fiends to flame you; and all that causes is an extended argument over some name calling. we don't need that shit here. 2) religion, politics, any beliefs that could offend fiends who are here because they like the misfits. stay away from this shit too, it can cause a lot of problems, as we have all seen with are friend Justin. (No offense to you Justin, you know what kind of shit it caused for you) chances are, there is at least one fiend who'll disagree with any kind of comment on religion or other personal belief related topics. So avoid these topics unless they are directly related to the misfits. 3) basically what i'm trying to say is, keep this "page" for what it is meant to be. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE FIENDS CAN SHARE IDEAS AND QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE MISFITS. people who are new to this page get the wrong idea of what FIENDS are about, and that's fucked up. not to many bands have a following like the misfits do. sure there are deadheads (grateful dead) and other fans committed to their bands, BUT DAMMIT, WE'RE FIENDS, show some respect to the band members and fellow fiends. 4) i could probably list a few other ideas here, but i think all you fiends get the general idea by now. feel free to share your opinion, but let people know that it is only YOUR opinion. don't force it saying this is the only way it should be.

When was Mephisto waltz written? does anybody >>think that there is a connection or am I just grasping at straws? We could create a connection here and call it a sighting. Mephisto the movie is about a german actor that sells himself to the Nazis in order to go on acting. (the movie is based on the book Mephisto by Thomas Mann). His role is the Mephisto, the devil in "Faust" the most famous of Goethes plays, Goethe being THE most famous poet of his time in Germany. Faust sells his soul to the devil in order to gain fortune, being the seduced and the seducer at the same time. Of course there is the comic by Tim Vigil, Faust. And in these comics there are some/a lot of references to Danzig songs. And Tim Vigil did at least the Lil whip shirt for the man. So there is the connection......go check out the movie, its actually very good, a classic. But I think that Danzigs obsession with Mephisto is based on Faust, the original. Another thing: Did you fiends ever check out this page http://home.earthlink.net/~mandelbrot/index.html It contains some really heavy and explicit graphics that I stumbled across absolutely by accident. But there is a Crimson Ghost in one of those pix. And the whole style reminds me of Tim Vigil. Another sighting, so to speak. And the new Type O Negative CD: They thank all the bands that they toured with in last couple of years, including Danzig (wasnt there some kinda trouble), the Misfits....not actually a tour...not actually a sighting, not actually interesting, but who cares...

San Diego: august 15: SOMA my first misfits show. woo woo. the place had a good crowd and all of the bands played a nifty set...but it was SO FUCKING HOT inside. i was very disappointed that they didn't have any air conditioners (or at least didn't turn them on). while we were all waiting outside whoever was doing the sound check for cannibal corpse broke into slayer's 'raining blood' so that was pretty nifty. i caught one of jerry's armbands. San Bernadino: august 16: san bernadino arena life of agony became very painful very quick. i could handle them the first time, but the lead singer's grooves were just too much for me. at least cannibal corpse is interesting. for some reason the crowd seemed to consist of little high school kids and not much else. got me. these kids were so punk, they had to wait on the curb after the show for their parents to pick them up. anyway, john bush (anthrax) was pulled off of the speakers down to the concrete stage and then the floor by an over determined fan. but luckily he was alright and they went on with their set. the misfits were still quite nifty. i caught another of jerry's armbands and the autographed drum skin (or whatever the hell it is) that chud tossed out after the show, so i was really fucking thrilled at that point. hollywood: august 17: the palace i still can't figure out how the lead singer of cannibal corpse spins his head around like that without hurting himself. i get whiplash just watching him. life of agony was really annoying, but luckily the palace had a lot of places to hide. john bush did a really nifty speaker dive (as earlier mentioned by somebody). i feel sorry for the people he landed on because they had to be in pain from it. before the misfits came out they lowered a tv monitor and played clips from old horror and sci fi movies (a spiffy bonus) while playing halloween II. hollywood was the only show out of the three that had the tapestries (sp?) in back as well. the misfits set seemed to get cut a little short because they didn't take any requests. anyway, they kicked us all out (quite rudely in some cases) so that they could turn the place into a disco club or some shit like that. i had the opportunity to meet both jerry and doyle after the show so that was really cool. jerry talked to the little group of people that was around for about 30 minutes or so (maybe longer). he signed everybodys toys and defaced a few dollar bills. i must admit that i was very impressed with him. like many have said before, he's a really nice guy. i think was amazed me the most was how his face lit up when i told him how much of a great time i had had at the three shows. i talked to one of the road crew for a little while and he said that doyle had a bad back and that hollywood was the first stage out of the three that was what they wanted (being that it's wood and bouncy). i guess doyle's back bothers him when he bounces around on concrete. i know many are you are critics of the 'return' of the misfits, but i had fun. jerry had fun. doyle had fun. and as long as we're all having fun, to me it's worth it. if it bothers you that much, don't go see them. i didn't see the comparisons people were saying between michale and glenn. he just looked full of energy and did what he wanted to. unfortunately i couldn't hear any of his vocals. one major disadvantage of being against the barricade is that you can't here any vocals because they go out through the side speakers. there were a few occasions where it took me a while to figure out what song they were playing. and there are a few songs that i never figured out. the new stuff sounded like the old stuff (music wise anyway). i don't see all the hoopla as the return of the misfits; i see it as the new misfits. glenn should have no involvement in this band. he has a lot more talent and should pursue his interests like he's been doing over the years. you all can bitch all you want about how their only in it for the money and whatever, but personally i don't care. i had a great time at the shows and i'm looking forward to their releases.

Which i will share with you now as inspiration to your entries: From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) FEEDBACK BULLSHIT (LONDON DUNGEON) They call us greedy bastards Just in it for the cash But when you fuck the sound up your brains I'll fuckin' bash You're getting paid to do this paid for doing shit I'm supposed to hear my voice, dick Not some high-pitched wail I'm getting sick and tired of this feedback bullshit I'm getting sick and tired of this Glenn clone shit 'cause when those speakers wail I'd rather go - to jail . . . than deaf BTW I'm doing this for fun. I disqualify myself from any competition. " no employees of THE MISFITS/MISFITS BIBLE; their families or pets may participate. --- I have to say that when i got this yesterday all i could do is sit infront of my computer and laugh. So let's try to get those feverish little minds buring and crank out a couple songs!?! This is to everyone, does anyone know who is running the Performance Concert Database. either someone has a wicked sence of humor or Glenn does. It seems that they have the first Danzig tour date as 8/31/96 in Ausbury,NJ. at the Stone Pony. After asking Mark and Bobby that is only 1 - 1 1/2 hours away from Action Park. Which all of you know that the Misfits are playing the same night for their home coming show. Very strange. to Otto, the Die Die My Darling that you have is probably black vinyl. The color ones have a sticker on the cover that indicates color vinyl. You probably have a later printing. i have 4 or 5 in total. my first press black, is a heavy vinyl and it came with a misfits flyer for t-shirt and to join the fiend club, i have a white vinyl one that has the sticker. the others were thinner vinyl and one was sealed with plastic. Justin, i'm not trying to be mean to you. You just said some shit that pissed off a lot of people including myself. If you stick to Misfits, Samhain, Danzig, Undead, horror etc. that cool. i have no problem with you just some of the stuff you have said. I joined the bible for a reason, i like the people, i love the topics. like most people this is a trip to read when you had a shitty day at work or school. I get to deal with some of the biggest assholes in the Graphics/TV industry everyday, and i just don't feel the need to hear the same shit here. See the last post you did in #222, that was cool. Your just like one of us. If you stick to that you won't hear anymore crap from the other fiend, who the hell am i kidding i've been flamed for no reason at all. But you get the gist of it. Jason, nice top ten, but you for got Glenn Bashing. Oh i knew this time had to come, Wes Thomas is back, welcome back, i see you have been watch a little tv lately, Mister Snapple. well its been, see ya's on Friday Later to all the fiendies on the Bible!?!

I read everyones comments about what is punk and who is punk. What the FUCK does it matter! As far as Glenn and the new MISFITS are concerned, people wake up, there are more important things to talk about. I give Jerry alot of credit for this reincarnation and as far as Glenn is concerned, he doesn't care, he has his own life and career. What does it matter how much money he has or Jerry has, What is the Point!!! Does it make them any better or any worse? And, as far as Bobby Steele who is a nice guy, BUT!!!!!!! Bobby should fight his own battles and not bring them into this. All i can say to Bobby is WHERE ARE MY PERFORMANCE ROYALTIES?! You say you sold thousands of records and our agreement was that you would give me some points unlike Bryan who you paid 50 bucks a song. I gave up alot of time including work and school to do your thing and all i got was 2 copies of the record. So people shouldn't throw stones in glass houses. Another thing, you are very lucky that Mark takes the time out to do this for you fiends. SHOW SOME RESPECT. Now, let's go and enjoy everyones favorite band, Jerry, Doyle, Michale and Chud, the new MISFITS!!! sincerely Steve Zing ------------------------------------- To contribute to the next issue, please send email to: misfits@virginia.edu For more information, contact Mark Kennedy at: msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu For answers to almost all questions, visit Misfits Central before posting: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/ The Misfits mailing address is: Misfits Fiend Club | P.O.

He works for a magazine, so he had all access at the show. Anyway, he told me that he talked to Jerry, Doyle, and Michael, and they invited him into their bus, where he chatted with them and played on their Sony Playstation with Jerry's kid. Anyway, he's met a lot of bands, and he said that the Misfits treated him really nicely; he said they were one of the friendliest bands he'd ever met. This message is not meant to indicate that I'm taking sides in all the infighting between everyone. I have no desire to enter that quagmire. I just thought you all might like to know that they were really nice and cool to at least one fan who got to meet them, and not a bunch of arrogant dicks like so many bands (unfortunately) turn out to be. Bobby Steele (or anyone else who can answer this) -- Where can I order stuff by the Undead? I'm anxious to hear it. Sorry if this has been answered on here before... They removed Netscape from the computers here so I can't access the Misfits home page in order to look it up. Sorry to hear about your friend, by the way.

All I have to say is "NO". That movie was the worst horror movies I've seen in a long time. Really bad. And Dennis Miller is to blame for a lot of it. Last time, someone else asked why the Crimson Ghost is called that if he's always shown wearing black robes. Well, in the original serials that that character was in (he was a criminal mastermind wearing a disguise and not some kind of ghoul, by the way) he was supposed to be wearing red robes but since the episodes were in black & white, the robes looked kind of charcoal or gray. But in old colorized posters or publicity photos, he is shown wearing red. And when the guys reproduced the pictures for flyers,etc., his robes looked black, a color which works better anyway. Anyway, that's the whole thing behind that. One last thing, I recently got a hold of a new video from the first leg of the new tour. It contains two shows: the Middle East Cafe show in Boston from 5/26/96 & the Club Babyhead show in Providence from 5/24/96. The first show was the best since the person who video taped it had to be right up on stage or damn near to it. The second half isn't as good since this time the guy seemed to be trapped behind a speaker and you can only see Jerry's legs. But if you're looking for any new videos from the current tour, keep your eyes open for this one. Anyway, hopefully I'll see some of you at Action Park on Saturday. Not that any of you would, but don't go romping around in the woods anywhere nearby because you'll either get caught up in a massive gypsy moth catepillar nest or get attacked by ticks brewing with lyme disease ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ Date: 28 AUG 96 09:58:54 EDT From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Subject: more stuff to: RevHugosXe@aol.com > seeing the misfits was finnaly realized on june 28th at Roseland in NYC. >... .meeting doyle,a man i've looked up to and been inspired by for >years,...singing song after song for 2 hours uhhh, what was there to look upto Doyle to? He is only the guitar played in the misfits, and only an ok one at that. Its not like he invented the cure for cancer or something. I met him after that show, and he was cool to talk too and stuff but at that show, as well as two others, and there is no way they played for 2 hours, maybe 1 hour 15min tops. I've said this before and I'll say it again, if they played every single misfits tune ever written, they might be able to squeeze out and hour and 45 minutes MAYBE! from: PeterMoeller > Jello would've always been on the side of the majority. He put it like > this: "If you have 200 people and 99 wanted the fucking wall painted blue > and 100 wanted the fucking wall painted yellow, Jello would be the one > who wanted it yellow!" this seems strange, as the stuff the DKs sang about NEVER counted in the majority of mainstream America, I mean, they were the biggest anti-Reagan thing going, and Reagan was possibly the most popular president of all time. I met Jello once at a spoken word show, and he was really cool though I dont know him personally to refute what Jerry said .... Are you from Germany? If so, did they have the big Anarchy Festival in Hanover this year, you know, where people burn cars, loot, riot, etc. To anyone - > 8. sXe than fuck meters What the hell does straight edge have to do with Misfits?

(No offense, Minor Threat is prob. my favorite band). Yea, I think you are right, but I think these days, becoming a "punk" so to speak is as much about conforming to the punk lifestyle as it was to create a new one way back when. I see kids everywhere you call themselves "punks" who hop into their punk uniforms just as quick as the metalheads hop into theirs, the deadheads into theirs, the goths into theirs, etc etc. At this point, anyone trying to be different, ends up being just like somebody else. Like tattoos for instance. I know you have them, which is cool and I doubt you got them because everyone else did. I have wanted to get one or two for a while, but it has become so "trendy" to have them these days, that I'd rather not be seen as being part of that bandwagon, just like the belly piercing, etc. to bobby >When I was still in the band, Doyle's guitar had .013 strings. When you >consider that most guitarists use .009/.010 strings . . He is using .013's and still breaking strings? Hell I use .010's and I dont break nearly as many as him. He must have a very heavy right hand technique, probably from all those muscles. I think he is using extra-heavy picks too, which can cut through strings pretty fast. >According to the SOHO NEWS, Sid wanted the guitarist and bass player from THE MISFITS to be in his backup band. That would have been career suicide! > Ian and Henry both said THE UNDEAD are the only New York Band worth shit They must have never listened to Kraut! or the Ramones, or D-Generation.

A belated thank you for helping me with finding record stores. I have two friends going to Manhattan for me to purchase some 'fits goodies. I'm also gonna throw my two cents in about the tribute band/in it for the $$$ debate. No, I haven't seen them live, YET. However, the Ramones did the same damn thing, and once you get over the fact that Dee Dee isn't there, it's still pretty damn remarkable to see a legend in the act. The Cramps toured without Poison Ivy and Nick Knocks in 95, Metallica carried on without Cliff, etc. etc. Point is, you're seeing a band that has made history, and I don't think you guys are whining when you plunk down your hard-earned dollars at your local Ticketmaster. Which brings me to the money issue... yes, Jerry and Doyle are probably trying to make a buck or two, but from reading the reviews posted here, they've been doing much more than just getting on stage and banging their instruments. They're talking to their fans, signing autographs, and not being money-hungry bastards about the whole deal. For a reference point, look in the Entertainment Weekly that came out a few weeks ago with a cover story on KISS. Not only are they out to make a buck (tix here for nosebleed seats were $40, compared to the $15 necessary to see the Misfits in Atlanta), but they have been very reluctant to come off of their high horses long enough to sign an autograph or two. In fact, even the roadies are treated like dogshit. All in all, does it really matter? You're seeing the music performed live by some of the guys who helped bring it to your attention in the first place. Whether it's Bobby playing with the Undead, or Jerry & Co. playing as the Misfits, you're witnessing the renaissance of a legend by the guys who created it. smooches and moonshine :O punkin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1996 13:54:25 -0400 (EDT) From: Frank Fama Subject: Danzig tour, LP, EP got my ticket for the Sept. 28th Hamilton Danzig (Ozzy) show today; $35.50 (Cdn.) (+$4 service charge if you buy through Ticketmaster). As far as I know, floor seats (actually it's GA) sold out this morning... also, Eerie says on the hotline that Danzig 5 ("Black as the Devil") will be out Halloween. He also has a short message from Glenn, who says that they may have an EP out for fan-club members only, and also that Danzig will be doing some of their own shows along the Ozzy tour. -brett ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1996 10:34:13 PST Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #223 From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) Okay, I'll clear this up right away. STEVE, you know where to reach me. You should've at least called me first. I came on here after Jerry and Glenn evaded me for over 15-years, slandered me in the press, and then put out the claim that "everyone has been paid". NEVER SAY DIE sold about 10,000 copies over ten-years. Five thousand of them were on SPV , in the first year,- who never paid me, aside from the $500.00 advance (half of which went straight to Jimmi Quidd, for setting up the deal). Of the remaining 5,000, I had the expense of promotion to about 400 radio stations (roughly $1.35/LP - mailing, $1.10 pressing = $2.45. x 400 = $980.00). I sell on an incentive plan, which is a sliding scale based on how many a store buys. This means that if the Wholesale price is $4.00 and they buy 25 or more, they pay $3.50. If they buy 50, it was either $3.00 or 3.25. So the profit wasn't very big on these. I wasn't out to make money . . . just to make an impact on the market. I think you were on two songs on that one. On ACT YOUR RAGE, Aside from just the mailing to radio and zines. I think we sent 500 lp's to radio stations in the beginning, and it probably got up to about 1,000 in the end. There were at least 500 cassettes sent to fanzines in the beginning, with about another 200 afterward. The phone bill for promoting these was at-least #350.00/month for close to two-years. Again, with the sliding scale - some LP's were selling for as little as $3.50. Forefront Records would pay in advance, and paid only about $2.35 (buying 1,000 per order). The total recording costs were also deducted - as per any recording. I spent close to two-years working AYR. 12 - 16 hour days, and I received $20.00/day for my work. This covered my gas and toll back and forth to New York City, and food. This was paid for out of what would've been my mechanical royalties for writing the songs - not out of any ARTIST royalties. On DAWN OF THE UNDEAD . . . I've just been to mixed up with trying to keep things going, but you probably do deserve money from that by now -albeit not much. It wasn't promoted well, and It may have sold around 5,000 copies if we're lucky. Get in touch with me, and I'll try to clear this up. Steve, you've always known how to reach me. I've maintained the same phone numbers since I met you in '82/83. You never once said you had any problem with me before. You could've at least given me a chance to talk it over with you before adding to the damage that Glenn and Jerry did to my reputation. I gave you at least five copies of ACT YOUR RAGE. You have every color available, except for purple (which I don't even have). I only gave you TWO DAWN OF THE UNDEAD CD/LP, because I was only given so many promo copies of that. It was not a POST MORTEM release. I never made a stink over not getting paid for the MISFITS 45's because I know how much it costs to put out a record, and I know we lost money on those. My main beef has always been, that I was constantly refered to as unreliable, a fuck-up, and no-talent. STEVE. You should be able to say; more than anyone else - that this was not true. Either way. Call me. You'll see, I didn't fuck you. As for Brian Payne. He asked for that deal. I didn't want to give it to him. As far as I'm concerned - if I ever get a REAL licensing deal, where that old shit starts to make serious money, I'll be willing to tear up that agreement. Before anyone gets around to LIVE SLAYER. Skyclad Records went out of business before ever giving me a royalty statement, yet that CD still turns up all over the world. Where did that 'devotional message come from ?

Lequieu" Subject: Portland, OR show hello fiends I know that this is a little late but i have not been hooked up. Anyway, the show in portland was awe inspiring. it expressed what the Misfits are truly about--the music. I thought that i had seen it all when Jerry came out with Anthrax and sang back-up vocals to "anti-social", michale also came out and sang. all in all, it was amazing. then the Misfits took the stage. I have never seen so much energy coming from mere human beings--these guys were amazing!! Jerry was going nuts flailing his bass around. Doyle was frightfully awesome. he was standing right in from of me and really scared the security. the reason was that he was not playing his guitar, he was punishing it. he would hold his fist up to the crowd and simply pound his guitar. he kept breaking strings in the middle of the songs, yet kept right on playing. all i have to say about Michale is that he is probable 1 of the 3 people alive in the world who could replace glenn. I was impressed. Chud was great as usual, and he even gave my friend and i a drumstick. the greatest thing of my life happened at this show--i was selected along with two other guys to sing "Attitude". the other two guys did not quite know the words so i kinda took over and sang as best i could. the feeling cannot be described as i kept thinking, "i am singing with the Misfits". simply electrifying! (there were people taking pictures, please contact me if you info on how to obtain them). I still cannot believe it actually happened. another cool thing was that after they finished their set, they kept right on playing, after a while they took requests--awesome. scott ian (anthrax) kept coming out during the requests and playing guitar it was great! after the show, Jerry came out into the crowd and signed just about anything anybody wanted. he signed my shirt and thanked * me* for coming! i could not believe it The Misfits are what music is all about! eternally stoked, nate ------------------------------ From: Corpse138@aol.com Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 02:49:22 -0400 Subject: Bootlegs for sale I've got a couple of boots: "Beware and the Rest" CD 18 songs $25 "Beware" 7" $10 "Fiend Club" 7" w/Horror Hotel, Ratfink, Spook City USA $10 "Fiend Club" 2XLP Misfits live, Samhain live $30 Email Corpse138@aol.com if interested. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 11:18:47 +0200 From: PeterMoeller Subject: re: math last Bible you wrote: >From: "Dorin M.

Subject: With a song in my heart, and a tofu on my plate... Hello to all my fellow fiends... I have been getting some of your song entries and i must say they are original, some quite unusual. I'm not sure if tofu was something that was plaguing Michale Grave's mind while he was in jail. Unless, Michale has a secret thing for tofu, Michale i leave this for you to answer. Well it's really simple if you want to enter you have one more week as of Monday(10pm that night). I figured you guys would be inspired by Bobby's song. Not bad on a spur of the moment. Next, The Bible T-shirt, no we never forgot about it. Actually the updated version of Greg's drawing can now be found in Misfits Central. Same place you looked at when voting. For new fiends, got to the news section and find the text that says Bible T-shirts. Hopefully we should be on our way for production once the Misfits are settled for the tour. So keep you eyes open for new info on the t-shirts production, and when it comes time to order this Bible Members only t-shirt. Justin, just forget the past crap and go on. Post like the other shit didn't happen, and just talk about the main topics which we are all here for. Plus you can't be the Anti-christ, i lived with that person for 6 months of my life. I never thought anyone could wreck Halloween. As for the Misfits being Satanic, Glenn took most of the names for the songs, and images from movies, comic books, and magazines. The cover of the Evilive 12" is ripped from the movie poster of the movie The Undead. Plain and simple just tell your parents that the band was made up of a bunch of horror kids. I'm not sure what else to tell you, i'm one of those people who's parents didn't enforce strick rule over the music i listened to. Last resort, just tell them this means the world to you to see them. Michael T. nice post. glad someone really opened their mouth about all this shit. it's as if some of us have been straying away from the reason we are all here. Kyle - yes some of use do care what is happening with Glenn, or at least i do. Plus, Glenn is being sued for breach of contract, walking out on the tour last year, and a couple other reasons, which i don't remember off hand, Mary if you are reading this and are not busy please come and shed some light. Oh and with the ironic possibility of both the Misfits and Danzig having record releases on halloween, as ironic (and if any of you know who runs the Performance Concert Database) as both Danzig and the Misfits playing NJ 1 hour apart in travel time, the same day. The other answer is someone has a wild sence of humor. Hellhound, with your question about the Crimson Ghost - you are right crimson is a deep red, yet you have to remember that the Serial The Crimson Ghost was done in the mid 1940's. Where Black and White was still king. I'm not sure which was the first color horror movie, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Blob. So CG might have worn a red cloak!?! Who knows, and don't go by the colorized version of the serial, that was done in the late 1980's. To Steve Zing, welcome to the Bible and it was nice to see you post, though i don't agree with all that you said ie. Bobby, but you are right about one thing let's get passed the crap and on to the reason we are all here for. The Misfits Plus this is never said enough, THANK YOU MARK, FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND TIME YOU PUT INTO THE BIBLE AND THE WEB PAGE. ALL OF US OWE YOU A LOT!!! well it's been real as always, and i hope everyone has a great fiendish weekend. Later to all the FIENDIES!?!

It's totally cool to be selling your stuff through the bible (I'm as guilty as ANYONE when it comes to this). I don't think it's fair, however, to charge such rediculous prices for your Misfits videos (and other items), especially given the quality of them. The Braineaters video is 2 minutes long and you want $10 for it? You want $15 for a CA show, $15 for the Flipside show, $20 for the public access show, and $18 for Goleta?????? How can you justify this? If you've followed the Misfits Bible, you'd know that these videos are available through me for dirt cheap and of superior quality than ANY other person with the same footage. I'm not at all saying that you're a bad person or that you're intentionally ripping anyone off, I'm just saying that if you truly cared about the Misfits and your fellow fiends, you wouldn't be charging such high prices ($7.00 for a button???). You can get the same buttons from Concert Express for $0.75. I think you need to consider this line of thinking: if someone truly wants something that you have that you aren't really attached to, wouldn't you rather they have it so that they can get the most enjoyment from it? And why should they have to pay so much more than what you paid for it (especially after you've used and enjoyed these things yourself)? Anyway, for the uninformed, you can ALWAYS pick up the highest quality Misfits footage from me at dirt cheap prices. There are two tapes crammed with footage. The first is called "Evil is as Evil Does" - it's got the Why Be Something You're Not? cable access footage, Goleta, Bethlehem, Kalamazoo, and the videos for Braineaters, Skulls, and Halloween. That's two hours of some great footage. The second tape is the well-circulated "Creepy Compilation" tape. It's got the Flipside show, cable access, and Goleta. Each tape is only $10 ppd and I've been known to throw in extra goodies (like the Pushead "Mommy..." stickers from circa 1988) free of charge. Tim according to your calculations/list, someone would have to pay $78 for all this stuff - something is so wrong with that... I hope you consider what I've said and act accordingly. The Misfits Bible is a collection of people who like to share stories, ideas, and "rare" MIsifts stuff with each other at low cost (if any). This is not a target audience... Take Care - Brent FOr anyone who STILL needs copies of one or both of the videos, send your orders to: Brent Eyestone 478 East Beaver Ave. Apt 211 State College, PA 16801 USA Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 10:46:39 -0700 From: Neil McAllister Subject: Crimson Ghost's color (RACISM!!!) Well, the popular debate now seems to be the color of the Crimson Ghost's clothing. Everybody pretty much said it all already -- the guy was supposed to be wearing red robes in the movie serial, but it was pretty hard to tell because the thing was in black and white. Also, if the Misfits WERE to get any color pictures of the 'Ghost wearing red robes, they might turn out looking black when reproduced anyway. When you use high-contrast reproduction like photostats (something which was much more popular 10-20 years ago) red has a tendency to reproduce as black. But I've never seen an actual color photograph of that costume anyway. On another note, has anyone actually SEEN this serial? I rented the two-tape set from Cocksucker Video a while back, and I couldn't make it through the whole thing. Here's how the average 10-minute episode goes: resolve last episode's cliffhanger. Recap plot. Introduce new plot element. Menacing characters show up. Have a fight, break EVERY SINGLE OBJECT on the set. Cliffhanger. Sorry folks, the guy may look cool but the serial just ain't that hot! Bobby, I think the name my friend mentioned as being the guy that got hit on the head by Doyle WAS, in fact, Tim... but I can't be too sure cuz it was a while back that I heard this. Anyway, the point is, this guy is not exactly walking around using the fact that Doyle cracked his guitar over his head as a "claim to fame". I don't think he really gives two fucks for the Misfits one way or the other, at this point. And given all the circumstances, I think it's kinda lame that people are using this guy's misfortune as another reason the Misfits are "cool", like "yeah, man, Doyle KILLED some guy with his guitar!!" No, sorry everybody -- Doyle is not a murderer (awwww) and "some guy"'s name is Tim, and if I had the experience at a show that he had, I probably wouldn't be too happy about it.

Somehow I screwed up the address on this one (I was in a hurry) so it's a bit late.. Hello fiends (and non-)... Basically I just have a few responses to Wednesday's bible... On the thread of bashing members of the Misfits: I cannot stress enough the fact that all the financial shit, the arguments, whatever between them is just that! If you don't like the new Misfits, don't go see them; don't buy their shit. I personally think they were fucking great live, and Michale was excellent. But christ, they are a BAND -- comprised of REAL people! I don't necessarily agree with some things I've heard Glenn say, but his talent cannot be denied. He is an incredible singer/songwriter. I don't know much about Bobby and I do get a little bit aggravated when he bitches about the money thing (though he may well have reason to; I don't know...) but he, too, was a part of the Misfits and has a right to play Misfits songs (I don't hear anyone complaining about covers done by Bratmobile or --yuck!-- the Lemonheads). He seems like a nice guy and has a lot to say. And Michale has a lot of guts to take over for Glenn as the new singer. So what if he got arrested? Shit happens! He's doing a great job, in my opinion. Give these people a break. The Misfits fucking rule and that's that. I gotta get ready for work now, perhaps I'll finish up my comments later.

Anyways, I saw someone comment on how nice Jerry was in an interview. To tell you the truth, I felt the same way. I finally, after about 12 years of listening to the Misfits, I finally got to met Jerry in person. On their first tour, in Rhode Island (yaeh that thing like a city, he surfed out through the crowd to sign autographs and talked to everyone. This shocked the hell out of me. I have never met anyone from a band, at least as known as they are, to be so personable. He actaully cared about the fans and wanted to talk to them. From listening to the music, I never expected them to be.. I guess down to earth people. Oh yeah, BTW thanks for the pass for the show. (Got Jerry to autograph it while I was there). And yes, I posted all those flyers you sent to me and about 100 more. Final note, since i just got married, my wife fell in love with me while I was drunk on 4 bottles of champage, in ripped jeans, no shirt and a leather jacket, singing RAT FINK at the top of my lungs. (one of those nights). Maybe not the song that people like, but means much to me!!! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 16:07:09 PST Subject: Re: Misfits Bible, #224 From: undead@juno.com (Bobby Steele) >From: Geoff Wilson >Subject: MISFITS TOUR > >Bobby Steele (or anyone else who can answer this) -- Where can I >order stuff by the Undead?

I paid a total of $25 for both records. did I get a good deal or did I get screwed?? Second, this will probably be best answered by Bobby Steele.

KLRWLF ------------------------------ From: Bile666@aol.com Date: Sun, 1 Sep 1996 11:07:29 -0400 Subject: Action Park The Action Park show was a great way to finish off the last leg of the Resurrection tour. It was a great time. There was lots of family and local support for Jerry and the guys. It was held in a big outside hardtopped tent. Security as to cameras, video cameras, tape recorders, etc. was zero. I probably saw ten video cameras recording the show, half of which were probably operated by family memebers, though. But you could have had a three camera shoot if you wanted to. Anyway, I don't remember the names of all the opening acts but there were about six or so. Contrary to what was said before the show, there was no special surprise guest. Who was to fill that slot I have no idea. Before the main event, I was able to meet up with Mark again (who was short haired and w/o glasses) as well as D-Rod & Bricks. The Misfits came on about 9. As usual, they were great. They get better each time I see them. They played so many songs. I don't remember which ones exactly but probably Mark or D-Rod does. They played all of my favorites (American Nightmare, Bloodfeast, Astro-Zombies, etc.) and some they rarely play (Theme For a Jackal, Wolfsblood, & Who Killed Marilyn?). Michale didn't seem enthusiastic about Wolfsblood (proabably because he has to scream through the whole thing) and the same went for Doyle and Who Killed Marilyn? (Michale joked that that was "Doyle's favorite"). Bobby Steele joined them onstage along with a guy dressed as the Crimson Ghost and a few guys from Sardonica for We Are 138. All in all, it was a great show and a great time. Hopefully now that they have a break, they'll be able to work on getting those new releases out. Anyway, that's the way it was ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ From: MR JOSEPH F MARINO Date: Sun, 1 Sep 1996 14:08:54, -0500 Subject: Action Park, you know... Well, I just got back from Action Park and it was definitely worth the 3+ hour drive. It was probably the best out of the 3 times I saw the Misfits. I know everyone who was there will tell all the details so I'll keep it short and to the point. First there was a lot of cool stuff on sale. I got the new Ressurection T shirt and issue # 1 of Squirt magazine. Anyone who calls themselves a fiend should check out this mag. It has a lot of cool Misfits stories and promises to get bigger in the future. The address is: SQUIRT magazine R.D. Box 232 Central, City PA 15926 Anyway the Misfits took the stage and it was just fucking incredible. Graves came out in a top hat and a skull-painted face. I was dead center right at the rail in front of the stage. They looked like they were having a lot of fun and the music was tight. There was one minor scuffle with a fan but other than that the crowd was pretty cool. The best part of the show was We Are 138 with Sal Bee on vocals and none other than Bobby Steele as one of the many back up singers. He even patted Doyle on the back as he left the stage. Included in the set was Who Killed Marilyn and Mars Attacks, which was a big surprise to me. No Angelfuck, though. Just one crazy show. Afterwards I got to talk to Doyle, Graves and Jerry. I got some shit signed and that was that. I did hear Graves tell a fan that the new stuff won't be out until Spring. So my friend asked Doyle the same question and he said that they are putting out a full length album in March. Does this mean no Mars Attacks or Blacklight single? Lastly I wanna thank Bobby Steele for signing my box set booklet and being so damn cool. ...Marino ------------------------------ From: MDPPix@aol.com Date: Sun, 1 Sep 1996 15:20:57 -0400 Subject: Skull and Crossbones Shirt A friend of mine just got that shirt with the skull and crossbones that Glenn is wearing on the cover of Walk Among Us, and I think it looks really cool.

Second, on the Sloppy Seconds 12" Destroyed, they have a song called VERONICA and the end of the song there is a sample from the end of Die, Die My Darling. Ya know the beep,beep,beep. And also, buy Adam West's 7" w/ Halloween/She and Search and Destroy. It is really fuckin cool and well worth the few bucks. Its on a cool color vinyl, too. Aaron ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Sep 1996 21:07:43 -0400 From: jaid This message brought to you by Jaid and Nike...the candy-stripers from hell. After a very long drive to Jaid's house and braving NYC, no less (as god is my witness, I hate that town...) Nike arrived at Jaid's somewhat intact. A little side note: As I was driving to Jaid's from Ohio, I had never been to NJ before. I decide to do it right and popped a Misfits tape in the deck as I was nearing the border. Crossing the state line, I turned to my right and saw a hearse join me as we sailed into NJ. Truly, a *warm* welcome and a wonderful way to begin the adventure, and add to my unexplainable fascination with this state. Sir Bobby "jams-a lot"Steele had e mailed nike about the possibility of going to the show. Jaid and I accepted his gracious invitation, and thus the adventure to Action Park began. RULE #1: DO NOT follow Bobby Steele while driving through NJ's scenic mountains. He will try to kill you by *without warning* making a 90 degree turn at 55 mph, without signaling. Shame shame shame... We made it to AP late. The Misfits had taken the stage, and we began to run down very large inclines. ASTONISHING FACT #1: Bobby can *indeed* run. It's not pretty but he can do it. Jaid has a request Bobby, she says she needs a new jogging partner, so if you're interested... We left Bobby with the camera, and he ran amuck with his pals while we fought our way to the front. We felt the crowd was a bit sedate, but still required the occasional public safety message from Michale. The fits put on a really good show. They played their regular set and then took requests for many tunes. It seemed to be a long encore with Nike a go go, Theme for a Jackal, Who Killed Marylin, and She to name a few. Bobby Steele came out on stage for London Dungeon. It would have been nice to see it better but we were blocked by ppl who chose to stand on the barriers. We did spot him leaving the stage although. It was something we thought we would never see, and it would be nice to see that again. Doyle looked particularly menacing blowing pink bubbles from underneath his devilock. Michale couldn't really go into the crowd due to the railings separating the crowd from the stage. What else is there to say about Jerry? When isn't he having a good time?? After the show we met up with Bobby again and D-rod, Bricks, Mark, and John "are you sleeping in the closet?" Grimm. The band was signing stuff and mingling with fiends, ppl were coming up and meeting Bobby, and it was a very friendly atmosphere. Michale and Rachel were present and chatted fro a bit, as was Chud with his cool road-kill leather jacket. Jaid and I secretly covet that jacket, we would really like to know what that was in a former life. We had the foresight, unlike some others, (and you know who you are...) to book a room in Vernon, land of the banjo-playing Jersey-ites, at the lovely Season's resort. This place use to be a Playboy hotel, so we dug the funky swinging 70's decor. They must have had a good deal on the carpet, it was even on the walls! We ended up having a feind slumber party, stuffing 7 ppl in our room. RULE #2: DO NOT try this at home or without protective gear. (Bring your own shower cap, for example) Before retiring we found an all night diner, half of us packed into Bobby's grocery-getter, and gave the locals a bit of color. RULE #3: DO NOT say *fuck* in the Sussex Queen diner. As this seems to make them irate, as Bobby found out...heh However, we DO recommend the "Bucket 'O Nuggets", it is a veritable gastronomic delight. Jaid insist that her steak and eggs were the sole of Bobby's shoes. Back at the hotel, we settled in for a short fiend nap, only to be accosted by a onslaught or uncontrollable giggling from John Grimm. Funny no one was talking to John at the time, however there is a theory about the voices he hears in his head... Through the ringing in our ears, we finally quit talking and fell asleep. Well, not all of us quit talking, since D-rod is concerned about his course load at school and began to talk in his sleep. D, Jaid and Nike think you should take the archeology class. All and all it was a great Mecca to NJ for Nike, and everyone had a great time. I (nike) even got a chance to hear one of the rare wildlife indigenous only to Vernon NJ. the NJ Rooster. This delicate creature stands outside the Season's Resort room balconies, and gently calls to awaken it's neighbors with it's mating cries, which sound something like this: " HEY!!! YOU!!! Truly one of nature's little surprises which one can only get from the great state of New Jersey. Until the next road-trip, special thanks to Bobby "Hey we gotta turn around" Steele, our "bunkmates", and last but far from least the MISFITS, thank you for a great tour!!!! Jaid "Where's my Woffie?!?!?!?!" & Nike "I'll be your best friend!" P.s.

Well hello fiends... i figure we will have a big bible today cause of all of you who went to the Action Park show, which i can't wait to hear about since i was not there, and i got only a little bit from a very tired Bobby Steele. So i hope you guys are going to spill it all. Next, yes you only have one week from tonight to get your songs in(10PM). Plus, so far i heard that Michale liked Bobby's song. Though as you all know Bobby disqualified himself. So some of you have to get to work if you want some of the cools Misfits Flyers(COPIES ONLY). And if you guys are real nice i'll kick in a copy of a close up 8X10 of Doyle from the old days. So start sending in more songs!!! On to, i see the age thing has come up once again. I don't think many people remember or care to remember their beginnning years of concert going. I used to go with my sisters, or i do remember before i or my friends got a car, or was able to drive our parents would drive and pick us up. It's part of life, and i would rather see these kids at the shows then a bunch from the masses that listen to top 40 ie Madonna bullshit. I also know that we do have a lot of members that are in High School or younger. There has to be the next crop of people that care to be individuals and not sheep. Adam#15, the guy in the Jem cartoon that wore the Misfits jacket did not look like any of the Misfits if that was what you were looking for, plus you would need to get episodes from the very beginning of the series. Which is funny you broguht this up, the band called the Misfits in the cartoon only had three members, and never a drummer. They gained a fourth member towards the end but she played the Sax, and was british. she was also the only member that had black hair with some what of a chunk of hair that could loosely be called a devil lock. that is all for now, i'm sure there will be a bunch of people bithcing about the fact that the bible was to long.

Of the songs they have done in the last year, they did them all, except for Angelfuck and Demonomania (which they only did with George from Cannibal Corpse anyway). In the place of those tunes, they did Mars Attacks for the first time. Michale came out onstage with the Crimson Ghost makeup and a top hat. He was in ultra-wildman form and it was great to watch him tearing all over the stage. For "We Are 138" he brought Bobby Steele up onstage to sing along and he also dedicated "London Dungeon" to Bobby. Former Mourning Noise members Steve Zing and Mike Mansfield were at the show as was Bobby and Franche' Coma with his family. I never took those punk rock crowd arguments seriously, but I must say that the crowd at Action Park was a lot 'better' than the crowds from the Anthrax tour. Sardonica was there and put on a nice, quick set as always. The show was the longest one yet, by far, and it got pretty chilly up there in the mountains of Vernon. I attended the show with John Grimm, D-Rod & Dhannielle, and Bricks, and after the show we all went out with Nike, Jaid, and Bobby Steele to an allnight diner (perhaps the only one in Vernon) where bad words are not allowed, as Bobby demonstrated. That's all from me - I'll let everyone else elaborate. mark ------------------------------------- To contribute to the next issue, please send email to: misfits@virginia.edu For more information, contact Mark Kennedy at: msk4m@watt.seas.virginia.edu For answers to most questions, please visit Misfits Central before posting: http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/ The Misfits mailing address is: Misfits Fiend Club | P.O.

Well, if your Walk Among Us has a green logo and the Warner Brothers logo and catalog #, then you have the 1988 reissue which is only worth the list price of somewhere around $9 or $10 new. Earth AD on the other hand is somewhat more complicated. Does your copy have the Plan 9 address or the Caroline address? Does it have the barcode on it? The most recent reissue would go for about $10 too, so $25 for the both isn't TOO bad. > From: Marino > Afterwards I got to talk to Doyle, Graves and Jerry.

Jerry used to break 2 or 3 strings every show" Wow. I've only seen one person break a bass string ever, and he was really wailing on that thing It's pretty effin' hard to break a string on a bass, I know 'cuz that's what I play in the Totally Bitchin' Rubber Chickens (shameless self promotion) How the eff does Jerry get a good sound out of that thing? His hand is one big blur with no particular fingering style yet everything ends up sounding good.

CHUD's aunt. apparently she had never seen the misfits live b4 and didn't know what she was getting into. everyone was trying to tell her she might enjoy the show a little bit more from backstage, and after almost being crushed by the first song, she and her friend quickly relocated. the misfits put on an intense performance. doyle was going nuts running all over the place, playing on his back blowing bubble with his bubble-gum, and he only broke 1 string that i saw. jerry was having a great time as ever. i feel bad for kenny michale was throwing shit all over the place and spilling water all over the stage then taking huge running slides across the stage. he climbed up a speaker stack and "accidentally" broke a lamp by swinging it back and forth too much. he also got into a couple altercations with some assholes in the audience giving them a couple punches to the head as security drug them off. they played mars attacks for i believe the first time live which was reallly cool. and bobby steele made and appearence onstage with the band, though i only got a few glimpses of him. i heard rumours b4 the show that glenn was going to be there, and i could have sworn i saw a guy backstage that looked exactly like him, same height and everything, except he didn't have those wolverine sideburns. afterwords i got some stuff signed by everyone. and went home. well i can't wait till next week to see them at asbury park. can anyone give me some general directions from pa? :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: : jess cyphers asenath@sunlink.net : : http://www.sunlink.net/~asenath/welcome.html : :`````````````````````````````````````:''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''': : : : i will live forever, for i am truly blessed. : : my name will live in infamy, synonymous with death... : : -the electric hellfire club : : : :`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:`:':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':': ------------------------------ From: RevHugosXe@aol.com Date: Mon, 2 Sep 1996 23:06:53 -0400 Subject: too many to list Hey,kidz Hey Wes,I wouldn't mention it cause it 's not very important,but I just have to wonder what kind of a reaction you were looking for when you said you got a letter from me describing my homosexual lifestyle?I hope you weren't trying to piss me off,cause I actually had to laugh,that was pretty funny.not that it is anybody's business or makes a difference,but actually i'm heterosexual.as far as any "different sexual tastes",as you put it,i think s&m is pretty cool.but none of this has anything to do with the misfits.anyway,enough on that note. Uh,when i said i looked up to doyle it wasn't so much as a guitarist(especially since glenn wrote all the songs)but just his presence.somebody mentioned a live boot where after glenn made fun of bobby,doyle missed every note of a solo.funny,i don't remember ever hearing any live recording where he played a whole solo right,even the 138 solo,which is 2 notes!but i have to admit,i liked it better when he played like shit!but i still think they sound great now.my band members have been saying i'm sloppy,and i proudly attribute that to my Doyle influence.just thought i'd clear that up. neil kaiser:warren is amazing!!!never thought i'd find another fiend into the allmans! i actually found out how cool zappa was through a fiend.you wouldn't happen to know if warren is any relation to gibby from the Butthole Surfers. sorry to everybody who's seen that sighting posted a million times!!for some reason i can never access old issues of the bible through the site,or i would have read them all (i lead a boring life).but how bout the bon jovi one,is that old too?also,my freind says he saw a misfits poster in "Bordello of Blood",although i thought someone mentioned this already,if so, sorry in advance! sorry this was so long,i've put it off for a few issues,later kidzzzzzz reverand hugo ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Sep 1996 21:08:40 -0400 (EDT) From: "B.M.

Sometimes it takes me awhile to get them out, but---don't buy anything per show. It looks like (to me) that this guy even split up the Creepy Comp and was trying to sell the individual shows seperately at $10 per pop, and the promos--if someone wont throw them in as filler--don't bother.

I spent the past 9 days with my girlfriend who came to see me from Vancouver, BC 2400 miles away. Long distance relationships are a bitch. This was the first time I have seen her in 3 months, since I went out to see her. We got into this whole ugly mess because of the Misfits!! (thanx guys!) You see, I started the #Misfits IRC channel going on a year ago now, and she was one of the very first fiends to frequent the channel. We quickly fell deep in love, after spending months discussing our favorite Misfits songs, as well as anything else you could imagine talking about. I even left my live-in girlfriend of 7 years for this Fiend! Now we are happily in love, and its all thanks to the Fits. This week while she was here, I proposed to her, with a lovely silver skull-ring I picked up. Now its official. We are the first certified Misfits-inspired couple. If it wasnt for the #Misfits IRC channel, we never would have met, and we both would still be miserable. Pretty cool eh? NOW.... on to the actuall Misfits-related part.. While she was here with me (in fucking Wisconsin of all places), we went to a Renaissance Festival here (because thats another thing I am into), and we ran into a really cool shop that made custom leather armor, and weapons of all kinds. Very killer stuff. One of the girls (appropriately dressed in black studded leather armor) noticed my Misfits tattoo on my arm, and told me that they are the ones that make all of the armor and stuff that Michale and Jerry wear! She showed me pictures of a lot of the stuff that they make, and also pics of the "bearclaws" that were made custom for Michale Graves. Pretty cool eh? They all told me how cool the guys are, and that they are going to be making more really intense armor for them in the future. I never got a fuckin card from them though, so if anyone knows the name of the place, please let me know, as I am looking to get some more additions for my Renn costumes. Sorry about this post being so damn long, but hell it had to be said, and now that my girlfriend is gone back to Canaduh, I am pretty fuckin bummed.

Well, I just started recieving the Misfits Bible, and I figured I'd post something as to not feel "left out". First, I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me out in getting some video footage of the 'fits? I have only one vid., "Creepy Compilation". And quite frankly, I'm SICK OF IT! It's very hard to find vid's out here in Rhode Island, so any help from anyone would be appreciated. I've gotten to see the 'fits twice already here in RI, and I must say I think they're better than ever. Never once have I had so much fun at a concert as I did at theirs. I never thought, in my life I'd be able to see them live, and I did. An experience I'll never forget... And..before I wrap up my pointless post...I have one more request for help. Someone told me that at the Club Babyhead show here in RI, there was some video cameras present. Is this true?

Subject: Just one of those dull days... Hello fiends... Well i think you need to pick up the pace on sending in your songs if you want a shot at some cool flyers. Maybe its time to get a little more motivated here. like not being a bunch of lazies as usual and being semi creative. Which i know there are several band members for different bands on this list. You can write songs for your own band but fuck if you could take a couple of minutes out of you vast day and type them, send them to as if you don't know by now (tes777@bridge.net). Shit Bobby took a couple minutes out of his busy day and poof - who was at Action Park singing We Are 138 with Michale that night!?! If you don't get the hint then you should be taken aside and hit repeatedly with a SICK BASS!!! Next, Some people seem a bit up set at the prices that Tim posted last issue on the Misfits etc stuff he's selling. Now you know i bitched up and down the block when that other guy had ridiculous prices on original vinly. the prices that Tim had on some items was not that outragous. On the square pins yes since they were never offical, but the poster for the shows if real that is about right. I paid $25 for my original promo Walk Among Us, plus you have to remember if Glenn signed that Samhain one its real(like we don't know Glenn won't sign bootleg anything by now). So give the guy a break. Also the video footage, give a call to Peter in NJ. Demattia and see what he's charging these days. Footage is not cheap for the Misfits, actually nothing is cheap for the original anything from them. On to, Neil what did you expect for a serial from the 1940's, though Flash Gordon was cool. I saw it in original black and white and the colorized versions, both were played back in the mid to late 80's on the Family Channel of all places. There is a second one i would like to see with a glass skull. AZ, i'm not the ANTI-CHRIST, my roommate from 8 years ago was the Anti-christ. what a psycho. seriously she wrecked halloween for everyone including myself since the bitch refused to go to her parent home when she was sick. i got sick, the flu of flu's on halloween. There is nothing like feeling like total shit and having only the shittiest of horror movies to watch on TV. Michael, what color is the Walk Among Us sleeve? if it's pink in color you did great if it's purple not so hot, on the Earth AD. if it says plan 9 only on the back cover then you have a first press black vinyl, if you have a caroline records under it, buddy you got screwed. The vinyl is out of print, but what you have for used copies you could have done better. Though if you have the first of each that i mentioned then you did pretty good. it balances out if you have a first press WAU. Good luck though!!! Nike, i have to thank you for the best of best stories about the Action Park show, that had to be the funniest. I heard a little Sunday morning from a very tired Bobby Steele. But by far your's is the best!!! Justin, do you get any form of allowance? if so save it and go. i have to say this is a fun show to go to, but play it safe(if you go) don't go to the front of the stage if 1) you have never been to a punk and i use the term loosely show. 2) if you are of small build and could not suport 170+ pounds on you back. a lot of these crowd surfing fools do have a tendency to fall on anyone who is at the front of the stage. Sometimes you just have to go for what you think is right. I doubt this will wreck your life in any way. Good luck. Oh to the guy selling his entire collection one which Bullet do you have and how much do you want for the Ritz poster? well that is it for now, and till friday, Later to all the fiendies!?!

Yes, the show rocked. Yes, what many thought impossible happened. Bobby Steele joined the band to sing '138'. I've been to 6 shows since the Resurection, and this was hands down the best. Micheal came out in the make-up and top hat, which I hadn't see until then. They played almost every single song in their catalog, including 'Who Killed Marilyn', 'Theme for a Jackel', 'Wolfsblood' and other rarities they seldom play live. They even broke out 'Mars Attacks'. Afterwards, D-Rod, Danielle, Jimmy da Tank, Jaid, Nike, Mark Kennedy, Bobby Steele and I went to the shithole diner where the assholes don't let you fuckin' swear. (Way to go Bobby!) Then all of us, sans Bobby, spent the night at the Seasons Resort. More questions than answers were in the air. Who was sleeping in the closet? What courses was D-Rod going to take? Why didn't anyone want to sleep with Michelle? Most of us got a decent nights sleep anyway. I said 'most'. We parted ways the next morning after chili dogs at the Dairy Queen. There was much sadness. A good laugh was achieved on the Jersey Turnpike when John Grimm practicly destroyed an arm wrestling machine.

I've tried playing like him and it sounds like crap > Anyone know how he gets that cool distortion sound? I played bass for about 7 years before switching to guitar and I used to break strings all the time, usually the A and D strings. I played Rickenbacker 4001s and always had to have two onstage in case a string broke. Since I played with a pick they got alot more abuse. I havent seen Jerry break any strings the 3 times I've seen them, but Doyle has broken plenty. As far as his distortion sound, I think he is plugged straight into Ampeg SVT300 heads, which are tube, and just cranks them up. You cant get that tone out of a distortion pedal.

Why would you sell this to people and rip off the band you like? They sell records and tour in order to support their families (besides having fun). Its not like your duping REM cds where those dorks just got an 80 million dollar deal. If you are a fan of the band, why steal from them? Are you then going to complain when they stop touring or putting out records when they cant afford too? I'll be the first to admit, I tape tons of CDs from my friends, but I support financially the artists that I really like and that probably need it more than others. Greenday, Offspring, REM, etc dont need my cash. I'm not saying the Misfits are poor, but they dont have no fat record deal. Granted, it is on Caroline, etc ,etc and Glenn gets his big check but I just dont agree with this. I could see if the box set was out of print. ------------------------------ Date: 4 SEP 96 11:17:39 EDT From: AZawodny@mobile.bam.com Subject: bearclaws somebody said "and also pics of the "bearclaws" that were made custom for Michale Graves: My local Dunkin Donuts sells bearclaws.

I was so happy. well the PA blew out and they never played. I have the same luck with danzig shows. Anyway, if I were to buy a video of a show, I'd really like to get the action park show, so if anybody has it taped, please email me so I could get a copy. wallet got stolen this summer and I had an address of somebody I was supposed to find Collection II on vinyl for, but I couldn't find it. but, I saw in the latest caroline paper I get sent that they had it to order. who knows, sorry. If anybody from the misfits is reading this, please come back to colorado as soon as possible and please play on a weekend, because me and my 5 friends who want to see you are in a place where we can only get out on weekends. thanks.

Anyway, when I resubscribed I thought all of this insulting nonsense would have stopped. I mean come on, this post is not supposed to be one giant argument about who has what, or how much of a Misfits fan you really are. It's about telling fellow fiends stories about past shows, or even meetings. I came across Wes Thomas' post which basically insulted every fiend who reads this. If you are going to just insult each other then just stop posting because nobody wants to read arguments and random bitching. I was pretty let down by such a negative post. Why are you so negative Wes? Can't you just give us neat stories involving the Misfits, like everybody else? I don't mean to sound rude or anything, and I especially don't want to start an argument, so if you want to reply to my post, please send complaints concerns, or whatever to me personally. I stopped thoroughly reading the Bible because of the numerous arguments that were occuring then. I like to read the stories just as much as anyone else here, but who wants to argue? That's all for now. Laita fiends. -just some guy who likes the Misfits ------------------------------ From: Joshua Flanagan Subject: ap show Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 16:06:07 -0400 i also went to the action park show last weekend and had quite an interesting experience. The show was incredible of course, but you've already heard about that. But there was an incident i have been curious to clear up. I arrived in Vernon at 8am (major miscalculation of drive time- i would never purposefully subject myself to that town any longer than necessary). I hung around the stage area as soon as they opened it around noon, and had the (un)fortunate experience of seeing the misfits do their soundcheck (i'll expand on this later). Throughout the day a guy with long blonde hair and glasses kept catching my eye. I thought "hey, he looks A LOT like Mark from the Misfits bible, maybe i should talk to him". Not really knowing what i would say, i put it off for awhile, but the more i thought about it, the more i insisted it must be him. Finally, i approached this guy, who i then noticed had a VIP sticker. I said "are you mark?" he says "No, why does everyone keep asking me that? 2 or 3 people have already asked me that" I told him that he resembled this guy that runs a type of misfits "fiend club" and he said "nope not me" and walked away. at first i assumed i must have been wrong. but then i thought, "maybe mark doesnt feel like talking to strangers?" so ever since, i have been curious, was that really you mark? As for seeing the misfits do their soundcheck. I have been a big fan of the misfits for almost ten years now; since a very young age when i was a lot more impressionable. Since my first experiences were at a young age, i developed these awe-inspiring images of these guys. They were intimidating, evil, etc. I have never seen these guys in person before until saturday. When i first realized that the middle-aged big-bellied sweat-pants and glasses wearing guy up on stage was Jerry Only, something fell apart in me, very similar to the feeling of finding out there is no santa claus. Doyle and Michale looked like jocky-college kids. How could I ever listen to the music the same? I honestly lost a lot of the excitement I had for seeing them play that day, and I felt terrible about it. These were guys that have had an incredible influence on my life, and then i find out they look like my dad?? Fortunately, the day didnt end there. A couple hours later, I saw this huge guy in black and spikes, eye makeup, devilock and all, walking throught the crowd- the REAL Jerry Only. Instantly, all my doubts left me, I was a kid again, and here was my hero. I even acted like a kid and unashamedly got an autograph and a picture with him, I was on such a high. When they came out on stage that night, in all their glorious showmanship, I WAS a kid again, and we rocked! It was such an incredible experience, and it wiped out all the earlier negative feelings (and perhaps were intensified because of the earlier feelings). I did learn something tho, that these guys ARE real people, not the gods i try to make them into, but i am comfortable with that now. I have made my peace. Would I wish this upon other fiends? I really dont know,... dreams are often better than reality, and the longer you can stay in those dreams, the more enjoyable life can be. Okay, i just wrote a lot of what most of you would consider bullshit. It was my misfits experience that touched me deeply, and i hope someone can relate. I do have one question: do doyle and jerry have the same tattoo on their right shoulders? ------------------------------ From: Gene Shriver Subject: Equipment Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 16:28:07 -0500 I was just wondering what kinda equipment Jerry and Doyle uses!!!

If people can find it cheaper they should buy from someone else. I'm not forcing anyone to buy from me. Maybe I got ripped off, but I bought most all of this stuff over 7-15 years ago.

Brent and Dirt, go to the nearest record convention or look in Goldmine-you'll never find original Misfits stuff cheap(if you can find anything at all!).

Here's my take on it. Devilock is a Misfits tribute band from Columbus, Ohio. They've been playing the local college scene there for about a year. The songs covered are Horror Hotel, London Dungeon, Some Kinda Hate, Bullet, and Halloween. They sound like an enthusiastic group Probably put on a real good show. Even if you do have to stand next to some beer swilling frat boys to check them out. The instruments vary slightly from the recordings they pay tribute to. The drums are lively, the guitars have some cool accents (even if a bit drowned in the mix), and the bass is right on target. The vocals are quite prominent, and I'll let you decide whether that was a good idea or not. The guy sounds nothing like Glenn, and he's not trying to, either. He has his own voice, and his own variation on melodies and emphasis. I do not fault him for this. Putting your own spin into a song you appreciate can be a beautiful thing. I guess it's just that I don't have an appreciation for his particular style. Kinda reminds me of Liquid Jesus meets Motley Crue or something like that. Sorry for the outdated comparison, but I haven't watched MTV since '91. Anyway, since I'm doing my own Glenn tribute thing, I had to check it out, and I'm glad I did. What's more, if I ever find myself in Ohio, I will be at their gig. Right next to the guy in the letterman jacket crushing the beer can on his skull. Get your own copy from Keith Noss. Just $4 ppd.

I've been to 3 misfits shows (New 9:30 club, Hammerjacks, and the Capital Ballroom), and every time I go I seem to have a phenomenal experience, the first time I got to meet CHUD before the show, Jerry came out and gave all the waiting fiends gumballs, etc... The second show at hammerjacks was even better after the show around back of hammerjacks I met the entire band, first jerry and chud, then a 1/2 hour later doyle and michale came out, it was awesome, jerry gave out bottles of gatorade, in fact I still have the bottle (I know it sounds corny). At the ballroom show, I was still hyped about singing 1 line of the chorus of "Skulls" at the hammerjacks show, when after michale was arrested jerry decided to pull fiends onstage to sing for the misfits. I was the first person jerry pulled onstage, I got to sing "Bullet" , I got so caught up in the moment that i screwed up the second verse. If anyone has any or knows of anyone who has any pictures of that show please e-mail me about it, I'm the guy wearing the ghost riders t-shirt. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the misfits playing D.C. on halloween, Jerry said that their would be a good chance that they will play d. c. on halloween. I heard that type o negative will be playing at the new 9:30 club on halloween. Secondly does anyone know anything about the Misfits tribute album? (release date, bands/songs, etc.) I apologize if I talked about myself too much, but i really only have 1 other friend ( he was with me at the ballroom show and caught doyle's armband) besides my girlfriend who likes the Misfits and that I can tell about my experiences.

After about 6 months of organizing and waiting, the Misfits Bible T-shirt is about to become a reality. This is an official Misfits T-shirt that will be produced by the band and sold only to Misfits Bible subscribers to sort of promote the mailing list and give us something different. This is your shirt. The design (that about 10% of you voted on) is available on the news page of Misfits Central or at http://watt.seas.virginia.edu/~msk4m/shirts.html The design features the Crimson Ghost bursting out of a computer screen holding the "Misfits Bible" in his left hand. This shirt will be black with the black and white design on the front and a logo on the back. There will be an extremely limited supply made. I had talked with the band about making 200, but we've had such a poor turnout that we might just make 100. That's all. There will be no second chance at this... and no repressing. The design will be sent out to the shirt producer in the next few weeks. The shirts will be sold through The Misfits Fiend Club for somewhere between $10 and $15 and should be available in XL. If you want one, now is your chance: email Dave Naked at dvnkd@juno.com to let him know that you are interested. At this point, all we need is the amount of shirts you will be interested in. Ordering shirts will come later. If you have questions, just email me.

I am especially interested in getting the Action Park show(w/Bobby Steele). Got October Rust a couple days ago. Good stuff, must have been interesting to see Type O Neg. play w/the Misfits. Hell, it must be nice to see them at all. I'm reduced to clutching my beat-up copy of The Hills Have Eyes and praying they will magically show up in Japan,where I happen to be stuck. One more thing-if there are any contemporary horror fans here, I got this flick a couple weeks ago called Dellamorte,Dellamore, and it is THE most fucked up dark comedy I've seen, with a cool looking Grim Reaper, and respectable gore, also. If you are interested, let me know and I will help you out. Hey Wes, I gots ta axe ya, whutz up wit dat red truck?!? Anyhoo, I'll see you later.

AZ, I told my father that John Lennon was the original anti-Christ as a joke, and he got really pissed off! On a serious note, if I wanted to buy the John Lennon album w/ the song, "Woman Is the Nigger of th World," he'd have no problem. However, if a ong had the same title and was on a hard rock or punk or metal or even college rock album, he'd yell at me for even asking. Hypocricy! Angwood, don't try to fuckin' rip-off the band! BTW, I've used the handle "Braineater" on WBS for a long time and recently on IRC. Tammy, I don't get any allowance, but I get $20 every Friday if I do roadie work for my dad's gig. My dad is a musician who plays pop for rich fuckin' doctors and shit out in a nice neirborhood. However, that $20 is usually very quickly gone (I'm an IWA maniac)! Anyway, it's not a matter of the money, my dad simply forbid me to go. In case anyone didn't know, I've heard of a band called Social Distortion that supposidly includes Chuck Biscuits.

It's totally blacked out for about 2 1/2 inches from the top, while the original photo goes right to the edge. Of course the lamest thing about the new version is the lack of lyrics and photos.

Um, I only got to go one show of The Misfits, and that was where I live; Phoenix. There was only one bad thing about it; we had to sit and fuckin wait through 2 death metal bands, an almost punk band, and Anthrax before we got what we came for. We were all tired and bored out of our skulls by the time they were about to go on. But, the thing that perked us up, was Jerry came out to talk to the crowd before they went on. Someone shared their experience of a show, and they said it was like they were a little kid again, well, I know exactly what you mean... He walked up to me and we kinda shook forarms, he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Love your hair, man! Thanks for comin... We'll play soon enough..." (I have a 14" mo-hawk, that was put into a devilock) God, after that, I rushed up to the front, and was front stage, and pumped. They came out and just wailed! I don't think Jerry broke any strings, but Doyle broke like 3 or 4. They were so.. appreciative of the fans,and kept thanking us. Michale was so cool, he kept giving us water,and shaking our hands. He, at one point in the concert, did a stage dive on me (and the others around me). They just blew me away; they had so much fucking energy! I've never been to a show where a band and the fans fed off each other's energy so much! Michale put down the microphone for us to sing a few seconds of songs throughout the concert. It was so cool, cuz I was by some old fiends, and everone was pushing each other, and there were these guys who were drunk and being really big dicks to these two girls who were small, and they kept grabbing them, so I elbowed one of them in the face, and the old fiends by me,grabbed the girls and put them in front of us so they were front row, and then we all (maybe 5 of us) put our arms around each other, and made this semi-circle against the stage so the girls wouldn't be bothered anymore. It was sooo cool that these fiends that I just met put their arms around me, and we all just stayed like that, as a comaradare thing, all singing along. God, that just rocked my Casbah! I've never experienced the camaradare of one group, and seen how one group "takes care of their own" as much as FIENDS! They were the best band I've seen live, and it was the funnest show I've been to, but there is one show that was better, Christian Death and The Electric Hellfire Club, and then was simply because both bands kicked so much peverbial ass, and I had to sit for 3+ hours waiting to see the Misfits. Then, after the show, Jerry stopped me and said, what's your name? I told him, and he singed my ticket with my name on it, and Doyle threw his guitar pick to me. They were by FAR the most down to earth band I've ever met, and I've met a few. I guess being Teenagers from Mars brings you down to earth... *smirk* Um, my girlfriend (a fellow fiend) gave me a pin last night that I've never seen before. It is a circular pin, with a square in it. In the square, there is like, a corpse holding one hand up, and there's a cross in it too, and it says Misfits across the cross. this isn't like rare or anything, is it? And I also have a bootleg of them live in Detroit '82, it's pretty bad quality, but it's cool none-the-less. If anyone wants a copy, I'll find a way to tape it... So, yeah, ok.. Thanks.

There is not a single scratch or fingerprint on the CD, and all the packaging is in tip-top shape as well. Special effort went into making sure that this CD was not treated carelessly or damaged in any way. Item two: A green drumstick used by Dr. Chud during The Misfits' May 6th, 1996 performance at The Subzero in Danbury, Connecticut. It is signed by Jerry and Doyle. Item three (bonus thrown in if you want it): A TicketMaster ticket stub from the aforementioned show.

I am not backing down to any pressure put on me by anyone. My beliefs are my beliefs. In my head I will be proved right anyway. but then again that's just my opinion. I will only post on items that I have first hand knowledge of. ie: FACT not FICTION. If you disagree with any post that I write in the future you can kiss my ass cause it will be Factual. NOT OPINION. Factual meaning I heard it from 's mouth. That's means it is not hearsay since I was privvy to the conversation. Just fact legal in a court of law I might add.

Yeah Daniel you can change your alias but we know. This "KID" is not to be trusted, I smoothed things over for him because he honestly apologized then I ignored it and was actually nice to him. Well Michale Graves made his first visit to #misfits, I have to admit Michale didn't say a bad word about me until mr. Daniel King decided to talk shit about me... Well fuck you Daniel. You wanna fuck with me cock sucker? Try me...In any case people don't trust this 'kid' he's a lying cheat and a god damned son of a bitch. >From: MACH@emuvax.emich.edu >or even meetings.

You cant get that tone >out of a distortion pedal. ----this is a technical response for musicians--------- Ampeg SVT300?? I knew he had a couple laying around but I didn't think he used them. Jerry uses Acoustic 370's (same thing really) -it's a great little tube amp, with a built in 5 band graphic EQ. On the picture I have he has 60hz @ 0 and a +6 db boost 240hz everything else from mid to high is slammed at +12db boost. In other words he rolls off the bass. The way he gets the sound is easy. He turns everything to 10~! No shit he does. He also plays out of ALOT of 12's they tend to emphasize the distortion in the mids. In the picture of his rig that I have he is playing out of about 24 12" drivers with 1 count it one bass reflex enclosure. Gee I wonder if that dizzy broad at the end of the Bible could have explained all this .................... (I'm sorry did I break your concentration?) Jerry plays fast & furious no doubt. He also cheats in the string department guys! from what I understand he moves all the strings up one position, and replaces the now vacant Low E string with some sort of Cello string or something, Don't ask me, that's what he told me! He & Doyle also tune down a 1/2 step, that give the sound a little more bottom while at the same time taking a little tension off the strings making them less likely to break, every little bit counts in this game. Art you can't get that sound out of a pedal! there's no way to duplicate a red hot tube with transistors. It'll never happen. The only way to get that warm beautiful distortion is through tubes.

It's not that their cover that is noteworthy but the fact that they're in cult genre director Jess Franco's new film "Killer Barbys". The group apparently plays in the film so there's a chance that "Skulls" will be one of the featured songs. This might be the first time that a Misfits song is used in a movie. Franco is famous in the horror genre for extremely bizarre/horrific/erotic films, such as "Barbed Wire Dolls", "Faceless", & "The Sadist of Notre Dame". So if the song is used in the film, not only is it in a fairly big budget movie (not by Hollywood standards but ...) but also in one by a fairly legendary director (among horror movie fans). The record/ CD can be obtained from Warped Records (P.O. Box 4962/Rumford, RI/02916) for $12 or $15 respectively. It's described as "rockin' punk-pop with cool female vocals!" Anyway, there's the news about another cover ... I know I'm probably not the only one who'd like to finally be able to see that Misfits comic book "Book of Cruel" (with art by Doug Evil and story by Mike Staxx (I think)) and was thinking that a good place Jerry should shop it to should be Chaos! comics (Evil Ernie, Lady Death, etc.). I know that owner and publisher Brian Pulido is both a native New Jersian and said that he was a "punk rocker" in around 1977. This could mean that there's a good possibility that he's a Misfits fan. The Misfits image, songs, etc. fit the type of material that Chaos! publishes so they would be a perfect subject for a mini-series. I mean, if they did a comic based on "Scream Queen" Brinke Stevens, why the hell not the Misfits?! I remember about a year and a half ago Jerry saying that perhaps Glenn could publish it through Verotik but I don't see that happening any time soon. So I think once Jerry gets everything together ( I recall they had to remove Glenn's likeness), I really think they should give it a shot. So perhaps Mark could make the suggestion or if Jerry's reading, give it a try. I'd love to finally see it. Anyway ... - BILE666. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Sep 1996 00:12:39 -0500 From: tes777@bridge.net (Tammy S.) Subject: Why we are the real fiends... Hello to all my fave fiends her at the bible... Well most of you never thought we would get to this point, our own limited to only Misfits Bible members t-shirt. See the fact is that we are there now. We have a great design for the front of the t-shirt by Greg Petre and if you don't like it: 1) maybe you should have taken the time to vote. 2) I don't think Mark Rude is a bible member. 3) If you have not seen Greg's web page with a lot of his other art you are truely missing out on an incredible young artist. The back or logo for our bible which i have provided it to the point, includes the e-mail and web page addresses, and a small bible that represents all of our post from talking about the Misfits on tour to Bobby Steele is really posting right along with out to the amazing guy who started this crazy bible Mark Kennedy. The art is done, the next step is here placing your orders. This job was given to Dave Naked who most of you know, one of the guys that won the Flaming Mark contest. He is trying to answer all your questions and make sure you get one of these great limited edition t-shirts. The last time any fiend got a limited anything was the Fiend Club Evilive. Now its our turn. I hear that only 76 of us have ordered this t-shirt. Now most of you know how i feel about non participation. You figured that she has been quite and nice for awhile and you can get away with being lazy. NOT A FUCKING CHANCE IN HELL, WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING? WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OUT OWN, YES OUR OWN, NO ONE ELSE BEYOND THE MISFITS BIBLE MEMBERS WILL GET ONE OF THESE T-SHIRTS. THE TIME IS NOW TO GET YOUR LAZY FUCKING ASSES INTO THAT CHAIR INFRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER AND E-MAIL DAVE WITH YOUR ORDER!!! THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE PUSHED ANOTHER AND ANOTHER WEEK LIKE THE CRAP I GOT ON THE VOTING FOR BEST DESIGN. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GIVE DAVE? SIMPLE: 1) REAL NAME, 2) ADDRESS - YOU KNOW SNAIL MAIL, 3) E-MAIL ADDRESS, 4) THE NUMBER OF T-SHIRTS YOU WANT TO ORDER. SO DO IT NOW, YOU ARE SITTING HERE READING THE BIBLE AND MY POST WHICH IS PROBABLY AT THE END OF THE BIBLE SO YOU CAN GET DAVES E-MAIL ADDRESS AND DO THIS NOW!!! GOT IT GOOD. NO MORE FUCKING AROUND THIS TIME!!! ***dvnkd@juno.com*** THIS IS THE ADDRESS THAT YOU NEED TO E-MAIL TO AND IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS CONTACT ME OR MARK FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR HELP. on to, the lyrics contest which so many of you seem so active to participate in well it looks like i have to give another week since some people see so motivated at this point, again i can't believe that as Busy as Bobby Steele is he had the time to write lyrics that were great and even Michale liked ( now where did i hear that line before!?!) and he is still working on design work for the up coming Time Square CD. Could it be he's not LAZY, could it be he is a hell of a lot more talented then this bunch O bible members. I guess so, though i think if any of you would like a shot at a 5+ hour video tape - yes live footage of our fave band and Glenn's other amazing bands, plus some copies of rare ass flyers you will never see again( if you question what i offer as far as a collector check out the collectors section of the bible and you will be enlightened). one week left so make an effort or just rot in you corner where you always go!?! next to, AZ, i really don't think Michale wears fried pieces of sugar encrusted dough on his hand. Bad for the skin you know!?!;) Khaled Abdulla Saleh - Black Aria was not a limited edition piece, actually you can find it on vinyl, cd or cassette. Just look around you should find it. try one of the record stores on the internet for searching. John is doing soundtracks for pornos, and Eerie is doing solo work which if you ask any of the fiend here, it is great to say the least. in the stores now is Uneasy Listening a kind of Black Aria of sorts but true horror music is the best description. as far as i have heard Both the Misfits and Danzig will be releasing on Halloween, which should be a true Halloween gift to us all. Hope that helps. to Joshua Flanagan, good post and i have to say the bit about Jerry was the best: he looks like your father. yes i have to say that is the Jerry i met too. Late afternoon after the Misfits got back from splashing in Miami"Beach", i met a wet, shirtless man with big glasses. He does not look like my dad(mine being quite older) but one of the nicest guys i've met. Its been great over the years of meeting the Misfits, Glenn who is a trip and really sweet, Jerry and yes Patricia he is a doll, Doyle who was made to sign everything that didn't move off that bar, Michale which i have to say could have joined me and Doyle in the picture instead of hanging in the back shooting birds at the camera. Chud who was a trip to hang with and in his amazement of what really happens on South Beach. That is it for now on who i've met, though i figure i will soon get the honor to hang with Bobby, which as i've been told should be an experience in itself. We are truely lucky to have all these guys and a band that brought all of us together. So let's not screw it up, we have to get the t-shirt thing done with cause we have the calendar next month, yeah Halloween is a heart beat away. No more lazy shit lets get our orders in. See you all of us will be wearing these shirts at the shows from the next tour, and it will get a lot of them thinging damn we should be part of the bible too. More fiends, more friends, or in 20 Eyes case new beginning. Think about it. its been real as usual. Later to all the fiendies!?! TES777(tammy) ------------------------------ From: Bulistik@aol.com Date: Mon, 9 Sep 1996 03:26:15 -0400 Subject: WSOU show Well, fiends I just got back from the Wsou show, it was in-fucking-credible! I'm not gonna bore everybody with what the other bands were like, except to say that Overkill rocked and Drill has got a hell of a vocalist! Anyway, about the 'fits, they came on at about 7:30 (the show was from noon to midnight) and I was right up in front. There was this other kid there who I didn't know, but got to know later. Actually, there were a lot of people there, but he's the only one that's important in this review. So, they opened with "Halloween" (duh0 and the set list was somewhat standard except they were only allowed to play until 8:00 so, there were a lot of songs they didn't do. Some suprises: Queen Wasp, no Skulls. Hatebreeders, which they didn't do the last time I saw 'em. 20 eyes, Static Age TV Casualty. Nothing they don't normally do, but odd choices for such a short time. I would have thought they'd go for the more popular songs. They did do Hybrid Moments, though, and that made me happy. So me and this other kid are the most vocal people there, shouting every line and waving our fists in the air and shouting for whatever member was closest. Jerry and Michale obviously noticed because Michale was smiling at us the entire time. He came down and let us sing parts on TV Casualty and 20 Eyes. And of course he did his infamous swan dive into the crowd. After the show, me and this kid bolt over the barrier and run to the area that has police line around it to classify it as "backstage" and yell for Jerry. He comes right over and hugs us both and tells us why he didn't do Skulls, etc and he poses for pics, but I didn't have a camera, the other kid did. We asked him to sign autographs, but he didn't have a pen and he said he was going to go look for one. He never came back. Meanwhile, Michale was in between the stage and the barrier talking to some other fans, I go over there and say hi, but he was busy and I didn't want to inturrupt. Then me and the other kid realize something, no one's checking ID's to crawl under the police tape so we duck under and head in the way Jerry went. We don't get very far, just enough for us to think we've made it until a security officer comes running up to us and tells us we just can't do it. On our way out, we see Doyle and pat him on the back etc... Well, that's just about it. Except that the pit was really rough (so I heard) and I didn't see Doyle break a string. The set list was (all orders are aproximate) Halloween, Horror Buisness, Queen Wasp, Martian, Hybrid Moments, Static/TV, Last Caress (I love the ending the way Michale does it!), Hate Breeders, and that's all I can remember. I kept shouting for Angelfuck, but to no avail. That's it for the show, but one more thing: to whoever wrote the Bobby Steele/ pedophile song, Halloween clearly states "Little dead are soon in Graves" this means that not only is Michale the pedophile Misfit, but he's a necropheliac too. Sorry for any spelling errors, but it's three in the morning, I have school at six and I'm still looking for all my bruises.

Subject: poughkeepsie bands cover 'fits fiends, last saturday night i was at a show in the poughkeepsie hole "the Chance", and two of the bands covered Misfits songs. Ninety 9 Cents covered "I Turned Into a Martian" (in fact the singer was wearing the Skull '95 shirt). They ruled. Anyone have their 7"? Or better yet was anyone at the show? A band called Brown Tongue played "We Are 138" also, but they sucked. also on the bill were the Velvetones and Skippy, who both ruled. If anyone was there, i was the guy in the white Bad Religion shirt, blue jeans, wallet chain, black docs and X'd up who hands who fell in front of the stage and got stomped on during the Velvetones. I got the bruises to prove it, it was wild! oh yeah, and i was also in the middle of the pit singing along when Skippy played "Do What You Want". this may be of intrest to that New Paltz guy who I was writing to last month. write me, dude! sorry i couldn't get you to Action park, but oh wells. catch you all next bible. i want that t-shirt! patrick the poughkeepsie fiend "this isn't really death, this isn't really life, this isn't really anything I think I like" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Sep 1996 14:33:56 -0400 From: Brent Christopher Eyestone Subject: Jerry's phone # Mark - That's not nice to give the wrong digits for Jerry's #.
